Privacy Notice for Landlords — Guide

A privacy notice for landlords in Ireland explains how a landlord collects and uses tenants’ personal data. This Privacy Notice for Landlords is a self-complete document for use in Ireland. Landlords who process personal data, such as references and payment details, need to be transparent under GDPR.

This is a digital, self-complete document from our Digital Legal Documents range: you download an editable document with guidance notes and complete it yourself. It does not include review of your completed document or advice from a solicitor. If you would like a solicitor to review or draft the document for you, find one through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Before you rely on a self-complete document, check that it fits your situation. Read the completion notes carefully, fill in every section that applies, remove anything that does not, and keep a signed copy with your records. If your circumstances are unusual, or a lot depends on the document, it is worth having it reviewed. Keep the completed document somewhere safe, and review it whenever your circumstances change so that it stays accurate.
