Whether your landlord is trying to push you out, your deposit has been kept without reason, you are buying or selling a home, or a neighbour is causing problems — Irish property law gives you real rights and real remedies.
The Residential Tenancies Acts give tenants in Ireland strong legal protection. Most landlords know this — but many count on tenants not knowing it. These are the most common situations where tenants have enforceable rights.
A landlord cannot simply ask a tenant to leave — not verbally, not by letter. The notice must comply with strict legal requirements. Most notices served on tenants in Ireland contain defects that make them invalid. You may not have to go anywhere.
Find out if your notice is valid Most RecoverableYour deposit belongs to you unless your landlord can prove a legitimate reason to retain it — and the burden of proof is on them, not you. The RTB dispute process is specifically designed to recover deposits. It works.
Find out how to get it backMany tenants leave their homes when they receive a letter from their landlord — not knowing the notice may be completely invalid. Once you vacate, your legal position weakens significantly. If you have received any kind of notice to leave, speak to a solicitor or the RTB before you do anything.
Property transactions are legally complex and high stakes. Disputes with neighbours, problems discovered in a purchase, planning issues — the right legal advice at the right time makes an enormous difference.
