RTB Chair Steps Down Amid Rental Law Changes

Residential Tenancies Board chair Owen Keegan has stepped down abruptly after just two years, citing personal reasons — even though his term was set to last until 2029. His departure comes amid major rental law reforms he helped implement, including new rent calculation rules and stronger tenant protections. Keegan’s leadership during this turbulent period earned praise from RTB director Rosemary Steen and Housing Minister James Browne, who both highlighted his crucial role in advancing the board’s mission. With the search for his replacement already underway, the rental sector watches closely to see who will steer the next chapter of housing regulation.
