Ruling against evictor: Illegal eviction, invalid notice of termination
Notes:
Tenants' evidence: "The Tenant said that in April 2023 that the Landlord had locked the gate with a lock and chain so that the Tenants could not leave the property. She said that they called the Gardai and one Garda spoke to the Landlord and the lock was removed... She said that on 8 June 2023 while they were away from the house that she got a text from the Landlord saying that he was changing the locks. She said that all her possessions and medication were left in the house. She said that the Tenants slept in their car for a month or two as they could not get emergency accommodation... She said that at another time when the Tenants were absent from the house that when they came back there were signs that somebody had been in the house that the television was smashed there were empty drink cans and some of her underwear was missing. She said the Landlord was the only other person who had keys to the house." Landlord's evidence: "Asked by the Tribunal how had he known about the problems if he was never in the house but served the Notice of Termination on 10 May 2023 for substantial refurbishment the Landlord said all the curtains were pulled off and he could see into the property and he could see that it was in an awful mess."
