Hello, I have been renting a property in North Dublin for the past 5 months and I have recently discovered that not only was my lease invalid and not legal tender, but that the landlord renting the property is not registered. I intend to leave the property immediately because of this, as I am not happy to be renting and living in such a household.
However, I am wondering, given the illegitimacy of the rental agreement and lease and that it does not stand up, if I would be entitled to have the rent I paid at this house during those 5 months refunded in totality given that I was paying rent while resident in a non-registered household and thus effectively paying the landlord in the hand?
Thank you.
