That question is way to broad and over-simplifying so I cannot give a clear and meaningful anser to that. It's like asking 'when would you not use a hammer?'. Are we talking about about the RM as a data-model per se? Or as a data model at the external level of a DBMS? Or at the logical level of a DBMS? Are we talking about existing DBMSs or hypothetical ones? These are all different questions with different complex answers.
