The Meath West Deputy claims the error has been rectified.
Another midlands TD has come under scrutiny after a house he owned was not registered with the Residential Tenancies Board.
Meath West TD Johnny Guirke blames an 'error on behalf of the letting agent.'
The Sinn Féin deputy says he rectified the issue as soon as he became aware of it, but it's unclear how long the property remained unregistered.
Longford Westmeath TD Robert Troy resigned as from his position as Junior Minister on Wednesday after facing controversy over failing to declare all of his property dealings to the Dáil’s register of members’ interests.
Landlords who do not register a tenancy can be fined up to €4,000 and face a prison sentence of up to six months.
Reacting to the incident, Sinn Féin says:
"All rental properties should be registered with the Residential Tenancies Board - no ifs, buts or maybes. It isn’t acceptable that a rental property was not registered, even for a short period.
Johnny has accepted he made an error in relation to a rental property when its RTB registration lapsed which was being managed by a local agent. He rectified the situation when it came to light. The property was properly listed in the members’ interests register.
The party has formally spoken with Johnny and made it clear to him that the situation with regard to the rental property not being registered properly with the RTB was unacceptable and that any further lapses would result in disciplinary action from the party."
