Notes:
Tenant's evidence: "The Respondent Tenant outlined that he returned home on the night of the 18th December 2018 to find that he could not gain access to the dwelling... It was a cold night. He had no money on him so spent the rest of the night in the Garda station. He went to a local hotel the following morning and stayed in a friend’s house from the 19th December to mid-January... The Respondent Tenant said that he had to cancel his plans to host family and friends for Christmas. The Respondent Tenant said that since the termination of this tenancy he has lived with a couple of friends and in hostels. He has been approved for homeless HAP but it is hard to get housing especially for single people. He said that he had sought lettings but they do not want a tenant reliant on HAP. RTB decision: "In the evening of 18th December 2018 the Appellant Landlord attended the dwelling and changed the locks. This action was intended to deprive the Respondent Tenant of possession of the dwelling his home.
