I think he has to give you a minimum period of notice plus he can't legally make you homeless if you have no where to go. Contact your gardi station and tell them what's happening and they will phone him and tell him your rights. |

He has to issue with 28 days notice. He has to serve you either personally or under cover of registered post with a notice to quit. If you don't leave at that stage he'd have to issue circuit court proceedings against you and then if found in his favour the county sheriff would have to attend to put u out. If your tenancy isn't registered with the prtb report him when you leave. It will give him a nice fine. Irish law is favourable to the tenant NOT the landlord. |

Make a complaint to the prtb, also contact revenue as you can claim a tax allowance to offset some of your rent, each time you rent to a new tenant a registered landlord has to update the PRTB at a cost of 140eu, he has not done this and is obviously breaking the law, and is in big trouble with both the PRTB and Revenue.
he cannot move you on without notice, usually the same notice you have to give him..normally 1 mth.
If he has refused to do any work list it all and give all details to the PRTB, I would give him a months notice and give tell him he's taking your deposit as your last months rent..
you actually have far more protection than the landlord has..

Landlords are not allowed to take the law into their own hands. Remind him of this. Make a complaint with the PRTB board if necessary. But in case he's actually kicking you out call the guards, he's breaking the law. |

Well if your up to date with rent with no arrears then there has to be some reason for evicting you. I've been a landlord for a number of years and it would turn your stomach some of the things I've had to deal with. And there is some people out that literally get everything for nothing and no the system inside out and tax payer pays for everything for them. |

"The property was PTRB res but he never put us down as tenants as i rang them and they said it was res but not in my name that was 2 weeks ago"
Well if you are refusing to pay the rent he can classify it as trespassing and have you removed. Its shit but yes if can do that. It takes a small bit of time but yea its shit. Best option is to move to somewhere where you are appreciated |

Would it not be solicitor rather than guards cos I know in the north this would be classed as a civil matter not a criminal matter |

I have never put any tenants out who have there rent paid up. Even when people have been behind in rent I always work with them.
The last thing any land lord wants is to turnover tenants as this always costs minimum 2-3 months rent when cleaned advertised and minor repairs completed. I am surprised they throwing you out.
In a situation like yours it sounds more that you would want to move out.... If he won't make the repairs(if necessary) then you should be able to leave by giving 1 months notice and returned deposit once all outstanding bills paid and no damage done.
Again I don't know any landlord putting tenants out unless there is a problem. I don't know full details.... |

obviously your landlord doesn't view it that way so that's another side to the story....
Who adviced you not to pay your rent?? |

its not that we want too leave if u seen the way where living u would understand our bed is in the sitting room as its too damp in the bedroom as the shower is in there and theres no where for the steam to go as theres no vents also the back garden is destroyed after the storm with our back fencing on the floor we have 2 windows that wont open everytime i put a bulb in the batroom light it blows every light in the house also we have a rotten sliding door that will not open whats so ever if a car goes past it shakes i think that sums up why we want too leave to be fair |

That's what I'm thinking. You will never get a new tenant straight away, it's a serious cost renewing tenants. Cash is king, all landlords know this |

Hi again, I have lots of experience in this and if the place is in such bad state then you should move out.
my advice would be to communicate this properly to the land lord and give him fair timeline to fix issues. In the mean time look at other local options for similar price (400 is very cheap!)
If you have already done this and to no avail you should give him 1 months notice and get new place. If he has track record of not returning deposit if all is left as should discuss this with him - at this stage he might not have deposit to return and maybe agree 2 weeks more in rent and 2 weeks are owed deposit - Remember you need reference for next place. |

"True the bank @kim"
Thats your receipt. Your proof of payment.
Word of advice dont do business with family or friends. Don't do anything to compromise your side of the agreement I.e not paying rent.
Do not let situations get out of control always seek advice at the start of problem. Threshold and citizens advice are able to advice you with tenancy agreement problems. Don't compare to friend's.
All landlords are different as some are exceptional, some just do whats required and others well you know.

I know but two wrongs don't make a right. (Omg I'm sounding like my mother lol) And you dont want to compromise your rights. |
