Tales of woe for the hard pressed renters of Ireland rarely make it to the steps of the courts. Or catch the attention of the National media for that matter.
Family are given seven days to vacate home they’re renting for €2,000 a month
Judge Jacqueline Linnane said that although Robert and Angela Fubara were up to date with rent payments, they were holding up the sale of 3 Kerrymount Rise, Foxrock, Dublin 18, in breach of an order to quit by the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB).
The Circuit Civil Court heard that the property belonged to the late Mrs Marie Donegan, of Belmont House, Galloping Green, Stillorgan Road, Co Dublin.
Tony Lord, a chartered engineer of Limmer Lane, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, England, who is one of three executors administering Mrs Donegan’s estate, applied to the court for an order enforcing a determination of the PRTB directing the Fubaras to quit and pay €1,000 damages for overholding.
Mr Lord told the court that the property had originally been rented to the Fubaras on a short-term lease until September 30, 2013, after which the tenancy would continue on a monthly basis.
He said that in June 2014 he and co-executors Bolton based chartered accountant John Shaw and Ms Lucie Duffy, Belmont Gardens, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 had decided to sell the house.
The tenancy had been lawfully terminated and the Fubaras had been overholding since September 4, 2014. The PRTB had directed that the Fubaras vacate the property within seven days and ordered them to pay €2,000 per month from October 2014 and up until today at a daily rate of €65.75.

Overholding since 2014. In court March 2015. Nice snappy turnaround there.
7 days?
There are repo cases posted up here where they’re give 6-12 months, do nothing so the judge gives them another 6 months
Yet again I’m questioning the independence of the legal system in all things property related. Wonder how many of their ranks are landlords

I probably should have qualified my “snappy turnaround” comment. I wasn’t being sarcastic. Echoing your point, it’s basically the fast lane for renters who have kept up their payments compared to mortgage holders who haven’t kept up with their payments.
I’m not saying they should be allowed to stay either but isn’t it a fine contrast of the double standards at work here. Why’s Jerry Beades not swooping in to the rescue? Maybe because they haven’t over-indebted themselves.

They also make up the PRTB if I’m not mistaken…

Sorry, I think we both misunderstood each other! I was assuming the above is what you meant originally and I was agreeing!
Also was it not reported that one of the various state agencies were advocating tenants over hold?
So we’re both pissed off. Good

Which state agency? If you are referring to Threshold, they are not a state agency.
Problem about getting their names in the paper is that their next potential landlord will run a mile if they simply google them.
Apologises, got that one wrong

A 7 day notice to quit like this only comes after a much longer notice to quit has been ignored. In this case they were supposed to leave in Sept 2014. And these people are only overholding because they are waiting for their new house to be finished.
Is the notice to quit against the parents only!
Three men who carried out forced eviction for landlord are sentenced
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that the three Lithuanian nationals seemed to be unaware that they were breaking the law when they forced an innocent tenant to pack his bags and leave.
Darius Adamonis (46 ) of Linnetsfield Square, Ongar, Clonee, Dublin, his son Darvydas Adamonis (27) of Latchfield Square, Castaheany, Blanchardstown, Dublin and Linas Butrinovicius (29) of Kennedy Crescent, Navan, Co Meath all pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to the false imprisonment of Richard Nagle at Cabra Park, Dublin city on October 16, 2013.
Darius Adamonis told gardai that the owner of the house, Peter Downey, had told him that he was having trouble with people in his house and he wanted them kicked out of the house.
Judge Martin Nolan described the offence as “an old fashioned way of solving a perennial issue, but also highly illegal.”
He jailed Butrinovicius for two years as he had produced an imitation firearm and he imposed an 18 month sentence on Darius Admonis because he had known the landlord.

I don’t think you understand the status you acquire with being a landlord in Ireland
You could despair at stories like this but I say fairplay to the judge! Lock up those dirty thug foreigners and throw away the key, sure wasn’t the Landlord only providing some jobs to the local community trying to make a livin’ themselves.

BECOMING HOMELESS IS something that is hard to imagine.
This is especially true if you are employed and living what would seem to be a settled, secure life.
This was the case for couple Christine Parnell and Paul Griffin.
Difficulties when Christine became pregnant led to the couple losing their home and depending on temporary accommodation.
Unforeseen difficulties
After becoming pregnant last November, Christine encountered a number of medical complications, which took her away from her work as a child care assistant.
…
Things then went from bad to worst.
Paul, who had been working as a warehouse operator and is a qualified forklift driver, suffered a serious accident while at work which saw him suffering a grade three (severe) concussion that has left him with lasting injuries.
With Paul unable to work the couple fell into arrears with their landlord and had to leave their home.
This saw them facing a life of moving around unsuitable temporary accommodation.

Wow, what sort of family history do they have that means they have no one else to turn to?
**Tyrrelstown residents advised to remain in homes until they find new accommodation
Over 100 families in Cruise Park face losing their rented properties following a deal between Goldman Sachs and Irish property developer Twinlite.**
RESIDENTS SET TO lose their homes in a west Dublin estate have been advised not to leave the houses until they can find alternative accommodation.
Dozens of families living in Cruise Park, Tyrrelstown, were told in recent weeks that their leases will not be renewed following the sale of 103 houses in the area.
It comes after Goldman Sachs purchased a €89 million loan from Ulster Bank that Irish property developer Twinlite had secured on the development.
But local Sinn Féin councillor Paul Donnelly said today that he was advising affected tenants to remain put – past the end of their contracts, if necessary – until they can find other property to rent.
Donnelly said the residents could buy themselves more time by referring their case to the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB), whose determination orders are enforced through the Circuit Court.
