How did they get away with it for so long? My standing order for rent failed once and they were on to me about it a day later

This is all too common. How are you legally allowed stay somewhere when arrears go beyond 3 months

I have a friend who went 4 years without receiving any rent before the tenants were removed. Needless to say he sold up the minute they were out.
This kind of thing is only going to make the rental situation even worse for.good people.

I know someone who didn’t get rent for 3 years. The tenant made bogus claims about issues with the property to justify not paying. Ended up getting evicted after 3 years and didn’t pay anything back. It was back in 2008 too so the property value took a shite in that time too.

They had missed one month’s rent.

How are people allowed away with this and able to walk away without having to pay any of the arrears? Its stealing…if you steal money from a bank it goes to court.
I honestly don’t understand the system at all.

What a rent!

If the landlord “illegally” evicted them (changed the locks and threw their shit out), they’d probably have been fined about €10k and saved the hassle.

How is someone on a housing list for 20 years?
Surely you would have reached the top by then?

Really shows that Ireland caters for those who take the piss.
If the landlord had illegally evicted them, as some have mentioned, they’d have gotten a smaller fine and could have rented out the property again.
And if the landlord was fined, and dragged their heels on paying the fine, they’d probably get away with not paying it at all.

They should be named and shamed. Similar happened near us previously. An elderly person was renting to a man. The man stopped paying rent, sublet the house and kept all the rent for himself. He bought a Tesla.
After the elderly gent passed away, his family discovered what had been happening and it took about a further two years to get them out. It’s actually a lot worse and the Gardai did nothing.

A decent tenancy board with teeth that could actually enforce it’s decisions would solve a lot of this shit with scumbag tenants and scumbag landlords
