To be eligible for a Landlord Permit you must be the landlord of vacant or tenanted residential premises which are located wholly within a resident parking zone.

The permit allows you to park for up to 60 minutes longer in a residents parking zone than the parking restrictions normally allow.  For example, if non-permit holders are allowed to park for 10 minutes, you would be allowed to park for 70 minutes.  Similarly, if non-permit holders are allowed to park for 60 minutes you would be able to park for 120 minutes.

The permit is only valid in the resident parking zone for which it is issued, so if you have properties in other zones, you would need to apply for a permit for each zone separately.

Apply for a permit

To qualify for a landlord permit you must supply a photocopy of one of the following documents to show that you have an interest in the property:

• management contract
• tenancy agreement
• solicitor's letter to confirm interest in the property
• deeds for the property
