Residential Tenancies Board ordered another landlord to pay €5,000 in damages for breaching his obligations
The tribunal said the landlord carrying out a 'black bag eviction' led to the tenant accepting 'substandard' alternative accommodation to avoid homelessness
The landlord, who had been living in Taiwan until the year prior, moved the belongings of the father and child to an adjacent shed. Having returned to Ireland in 2022, the landlord issued two notices of termination as the first was invalid, with a valid deadline of April 21st, 2023. He said he “took no joy” in removing the child’s belongings from her home but argued that he told the tenant of his reasons for needing the property 16 months prior.
Separately, a tenant whose son was bullied at school due to “body odour issues” as a result of a non-functioning shower has been awarded €5,000 in damages by a RTB tribunal. It heard in April that the mother of three, who was paying €2,600 in monthly rent for the property in Dublin, began to pay for gym subscriptions in order to shower.
