The CSO produces consistent, reliable data and is the gold standard.
The RTB’s IT system is a disaster zone and you don’t have to look hard for landlords complaining online that they’ve given up trying to register tenancies.
I was renting for nearly every year from the introduction of then PRTB in 2004 until 2022, and not one of 3 tenancies were registered.
Since RPZs this is probably a tool for landlords on legacy lower rents to hide from the regulatory process. I've seen 2 cases where tenants left, the rent increased by a huge margin, and only then did the landlord register, now at the new, market rent.
It’s some combination of 2 and 3.
