Mr Kerr told the tribunal he intended to carry out “welfare checks” on the tenant, which would involve five-minute-long routine inspections each Sunday.Who earns the most? Employees in information and communication sector have highest median weekly earningsHowever, it was the tribunal’s view that the planned checks were an effort to put “further pressure on the tenant to vacate the dwelling”.

On March 10th, Mr Figgis claimed Ms Moran contacted him to say she would call to collect the keys four days later while the following day, he claimed her son contacted him to say that Mr Kerr would be changing the locks on March 18th.Mr Kerr told the tribunal that a document had been signed under which Mr Figgis, who was known to Ms Moran’s family for about 30 years, agreed to occupy the apartment as its caretaker.

He said his ex-wife had been kind to Mr Figgis in giving him a place to stay for €400 per month, which the tribunal heard was 20 per cent of the market rate for the area, adding that she had agreed to help him in pursuing his housing requirements. Mr Figgis claimed the messages were “abusive, belittling and condescending”, however, Mr Kerr claimed he was trying to “understand what he was doing” adding that giving 180 days to vacate under the notice of termination was “to cover a worst-case scenario”.
