Help to ensure orderly tenancies
The Rent Disputes Tribunal is a public authority that offers guidance on tenancy issues to both landlords and tenants. In the event of a conflict during the tenancy, we help resolve the matter through mediation or formal written decisions.
The Rent Disputes Tribunal has experienced a significant increase in case submissions.
We are doing everything we can to reduce processing time. However, the current average waiting period is at least six months from the time a new complaint is received until we can begin handling it. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely thank you for your patience.
While you wait – have you spoken with the other party?
Sometimes, a direct conversation is all it takes to find a good solution.

The Rent Disputes Tribunal publishes our written decisions on Lovdata. We normally do not know if the decision has been taken to the district court. If we are notified that the case is appealed, this information will be included in the summary of the decision in question. Only 3% of our cases is appealed to the district court.
If you want to make sure that the decision is final and enforceable, you can contact us or the district court.
