7 Carlton Court Swords Co. Dublin K67E9N3
Date: 2015-11-23
Evictor: Orla Keegan
Ruling against evictor: Illegal eviction
Notes:
Tenant's evidence: "He outlined that on 30 August 2015 at 5pm the Respondent Landlord and her husband came to the dwelling accompanied by the Gardai. He said he stayed in his bedroom and stated that a Garda ordered him to vacate while the Respondent Landlord and her husband stood behind the Garda". Landlord's evidence: "She asked her solicitor to write to the Appellant Tenant to set out the expectation of vacating the dwelling and went on to state that when the Appellant Tenant refused to vacate the dwelling on 30 August 2015 she was left with no option but to request the Gardai to assist her to have him give up possession of the dwelling. She told the Tribunal that she showed the Garda the valid Notice of Termination and while she remained downstairs the Garda asked the Appellant Tenant to pack his belongings and leave the dwelling." RTB decision: "The Tribunal is satisfied that the actions of the Respondent Landlord who was accompanied at the time by members of An Garda Siochana constituted an unlawful termination of the tenancy."
