I am thinking of a particular scenario. Tenants have come to me in the past about issues with the property they are renting and they would not know the address of the landlord and might only have a phone number for the landlord. It sounds like a very informal type of arrangement. What is available to the RTB to track the owner of the property on the assumption that the owner is likely to be the landlord? If the RTB writes to the landlord at the address, it is possible that no contact is made.
