Damp & mould compliance software in Ireland.
In Ireland, the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations set minimum standards including freedom from damp and mould — enforced by local authority inspection, where a dated evidence trail matters.
The applicable regime
Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2019 and local-authority inspection and enforcement.
Three local evidence priorities
1.Confirm the rental and enforcement context
Record whether the home is local-authority, approved-housing-body or another rental arrangement, the relevant local authority and the scope of the visit before selecting a checklist.
2.Tie moisture evidence to repair and ventilation
Capture internal and external condition where accessible, ventilation provision, heating, leaks, staining and readings. Separate observed facts from any conclusion about the regulations or the cause of dampness.
3.Prepare a reviewable inspection trail
Keep the resident report, dated visit, limitations, improvement actions and follow-up evidence together. This makes the record usable during local-authority inspection without presenting it as the authority's decision.
Can the local authority follow condition, action and reinspection?
For an Irish rental, preserve enough property, tenancy and visit context for the relevant local authority to understand the observed condition, the landlord's response and the later result without presenting the app record as an enforcement decision.

Frequently asked questions
What compliance regime applies to damp and mould in Ireland?
Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2019 and local-authority inspection and enforcement. Ireland's minimum rental standards cover structural repair, ventilation and other physical requirements. Local authorities enforce them, and alternative requirements apply to some local-authority, approved-housing-body and long-term lease arrangements.
