Well depends on what you mean my heavy handed ? Not really prepared to literally throw them out or pay someone to do that . I am putting the for sale sign up Monday morning. I’m hoping that might give them a further nudgeWould the heavy handed approach move things on quickly for the landlord ?
Maybe not the right way too go but things might move somewhat quicker
Being at the top of the housing list means nothing. That is for council housing. They do have options to living in a RAS property or in a housing association property but they may want a council property. Had a tenant that was no. 150 for years on the housing list and moved to 125 last year. There are many people that are higher priority. They can apply for housing association accommodation through the council.Meeting was uneventful but necessary. They seemed to be clutching at straws on the hope I was going to change my mind . They advised me they are on top of the waiting list for a social house which is obviously nothing to do with me either way . I requested they be gone by month end. They were full of false promises and unfortunately I see this rumbling on a while longer.
There are two injured parties here. The tenant and the landlord. Both caught up in a fractured system. With large corporate landlords that people wanted are now making it difficult for tenants to find affordable housing.story sounds like mine also.
I was a tenant and a LL and the government has turned tenants litigious (threshold should be called overhold) and turned LLs off of wanting to rent out to anyone
I’m hoping the selling process gives them a nudge .
Viewings will begin over the next 2 weeks.
They have agreed not to be present during viewings so hopefully that will help .I'll tell you a story. We viewed a house years ago which was on the market as a rental. The viewings took place with the tenants in the house watching TV and eating their dinner. It was a bit weird. We weren't put off as we were FTBs and had time on our hands. We put in a bid, then another, and had the offer accepted
We subsequently went sale agreed and tenants cleared out with no hassle well before closing But I would say the whole scenario put off a lot of bidders. Bear in mind this was at a time with lots of rental properties for the tenants to move on to - the opposite of now!
As a potential bidder (particularly one in a chain) I would be really put off by the presence of sitting tenants.
The tenant is still there . I’m hoping the selling process gives them a nudge .
You can get an RTB determination for the unpaid arrears and then seek to enforce it in the District Court.They are 2k in arrears and I hold an 850 euro deposit.
AFAIK utlities arrears can't impede the sale of a house.In respect of bills in the tenants name am I liable for any arrears ?
In respect of bills in the tenants name am I liable for any arrears ? Can these arrears impede on the selling process ?
Their partner mightn't have a problem thoughNot to my knowledge. But if one of the bills is for electricity then if the tenants don't settle it, they may have problems getting an electricity account for their new home.

It is probably not worth your time and hassle unfortunately.
So you're down 1,150? I think you were extremely lucky...By means of update the tenant secured a council house and I will get vacant possession Monday morning. They are 2k in arrears and I hold an 850 euro deposit. I assume there is little value in chasing the arrears ? In respect of bills in the tenants name am I liable for any arrears ? Can these arrears impede on the selling process ? Very glad my stint as a landlord is coming to an end
Great to hear your news of the tenant getting council housing. Strange how the council can provide accommodation as soon as you put the for sale sign up in the garden.By means of update the tenant secured a council house and I will get vacant possession Monday morning.

Do not think so. Many tenants can walk away free owing rent. Pity it is not like England where arrears are taken from their income. Then you still have to go to court to get a determination which costs money.Would such a determination affect their credit rating? If so, then it might be worth doing ............. even if only for spite!
