Clone Lane Ferns Enniscorthy Co. Wexford
Date: 2023-07-21
Evictor: Pauline Maguire
Ruling against evictor: Illegal eviction
Notes:
Tenant’s evidence: “He said several people associated with the Landlord were in the dwelling throwing things out and he had been refused entry as the Landlord said that she would bring their belongings to his business premises. When their belongings were brought to his business premises their driver’s licences passports and a sum of money which had been in a wallet were missing. He said when they received the wallet there was no money in it.” RTB decision: “The Tribunal accepts the evidence of the Landlord that the Tenants agreed to allow her to carry out certain works to the dwelling and to move in her personal belongings into the dwelling on 27 September 2020. However it was clear they then changed their mind and after refusing the Landlord entry to the dwelling on 1 October 2020 relations deteriorated between the parties resulting in the involvement of the Gardai and removal of one of the Tenants by the Gardai. While the Tribunal makes no finding in respect of any alleged criminal conduct on that day it is clear on the evidence of both parties that it was the Gardai 6 who removed the Tenant on 1 October 2020. After that the Landlord confirmed she changed the locks and denied the Tenants further entry.”
