10. 3  Can my Landlord request my PPSN?

Yes, there is a statutory basis for a landlord to seek the PPSN of their tenants under the  Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and section 11 of the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004. This information is required for registration with the Private Residential Tenancy Board (PRTB).  However, Landlords are authorised to use the PPSN of tenants for registration with  the PRTB only.  No other use should be made of the PPSN and it must be kept confidential.  Further information is available on  the PRTB website
