Evictor: John Collins
Ruling against evictor: Illegal eviction, stolen deposit
Notes:
[This is a case in which the landlord evicted the tenant's on the basis that he would be moving in]. Landlord's evidence: "He said his sister informed the tenants by text on a mobile phone they had to leave the dwelling as her brother the owner was moving back from Australia and needed the house to live in... He said that the dwelling was let to new tenants at a rent of €1800. He said that those tenants remained in occupation until September 2017. He said the house was vacant for a few weeks and let again in October 2017. He said that because of the pyrite problem he can only get tenants on a month to month basis. RTB decision: "The Tribunal accepts on the balance of probabilities that the Appellant Landlord did not have an intention of residing in the dwelling given that new tenants were in occupation of the dwelling at a significantly higher rent within a month of the termination of the Respondent Tenants’ tenancy."
