At some point, applicants have to take a stance on how they will read the Scorecard form. If one doesn't do that, then they cannot have a logical argument running through.
For example (and I will take the RTB dispute here), in the top part of the form, you can see this:
''One of …. P 60 / Employment Detail Summary / Notice of Assessments ''
The use of the '/' here is used in order to separate the choices of governmental paperwork can give to fulfil this requirement.
You can also apply this here:
''Doctor / Hospital attendance record''
In contrast, when the department want to specify the necessary information they want along with the particular paperwork, they use this dash '-' to separate the proof and they info:
''Property tax - proof of payment''
OR
''Credit card statements: For each of the required number of years - annually Six consecutive months''
So, if the '/' is used on the top to show the choices, then the same rule needs to be applied with the Rent agreement issue. A rent agreement is a legal document, and from the tenant's point of view, registering with the RTB is not. However, a tenancy can be registered with the RTB without the need to have a rent agreement. A rent agreement, or contract, is not a legal requirement in the Republic of Ireland. However, when one exists, the same government that has created the Residential Tenancy Acts that the contract actually relies on to exist and be lawful, cannot diminish its existence.
Overall, applying the rules of the use of punctuation above, this then would mean that an applicant can either have a rental agreement, or be registered with the stated authorities.
