  1. The only unexpected thing about this story is the comments at the bottom about allowing workmen to carry out necessary repairs as infringing quiet enjoyment.

    Will have to check the actual written judgment because that could cause trouble.

  2. It’s ok she can rummage through the bins for plastic bottles to boost her earnings and cover the rent increase.

    This is all yere futures btw.

    Contrary to popular belief the biggest bastatds are private individuals who are Landlords.

    Some people are absolutely fucking obsessed with money and must get it at all costs, its fucking sick. That said it takes a special type of cunt to go after a 92 year old.

  5. He can’t give her a few years to die in peace the rotten scumbag. One of the “Mom and Pop” landlords Pat Kenny loves to talk about no doubt.

  6. Basically tried to pass on the maintenance costs to the tenant for the fire door work. Got pissed off she was pushing back and tried to evict her. What a complete cunt.

    I think we can all completely and utterly agree that this landlord is a prick of the highest order.

    We really do need proper long term rights for renters, not just more short term knee jerk reactions that go and make the problem worse.

  9. >A landlord who tried to evict a 92-year-old tenant after she challenged a rent increase has been ordered to pay €3,750 damages for the “stress and suffering” she experienced.

    Gwan Ita!

    Sounds like the business plan was to buy the place at a bit of a discount because the tenant was there on below market rent, then get rid of the tenant then get better rent and a higher property value. Easy money if you have no conscience, glad there were supports available for this tenant to defend herself. 

  11. just when you thought these leeches couldnt get any worse…. hope the government are aware that these horror stories will become a lot more frequent over the next 10 years with the amount of elderly that have to rent

  12. Going around to shout at and intimidate a 92-year-old woman while trying to make her homeless on multiple occasions because you made a bad investment.

    Some Irish people really show their whole arse when greed comes into play.

  13. It’s MFs like this that give the minority of us decent landlords a bad name! That’s someone’s little granny ffs
