Tenant running holistic therapy business without permission

You have a solicitor who advised you of the correct legal steps to follow.

If they have done their job then the tenants appeal to the RTB on "invalid notice" grounds will fail .

However, you admit that you have agreed to the tenant "leaving" in August.
So, you may have invalidated what probably was a correctly sent termination notice.

Talk to your solicitor.

I would not wait. You already know it will just delay the situation. She will not find a place. I wonder if she realises her name will appear on Rtb site once you win the case.
Do not do mediation go straight to adjudication. She has already proven mediation will not work.
Your tenant is the type who think that they know better than the law.

Agree 100%. Your tenant has not demonstrated any integrity in her dealings with you to date. Why would she start now.
Do what's right for you without delay.

BTW is the rent being paid?
 
Mowelb,
In regards to your tenant asking to stay to August did you answer in writing or was it over the phone? If over the phone continue with RTB process. Do not update RTB that you have allowed her to stay. As you are in the middle of the month give her a call now and see when she is moving out and ask her if she can up date you on this.
 
Tenant has moved out today. No curtains, light fittings, oil or gas left. she says she was told we were just nit picking and many business were being run without planning permission and nobody would tell insurance companies. We have caused her a lot of stress and money!!! We are left with two main rooms with wires hanging from ceiling and no lights. We gave her a full tank of oil and it will cost us €1200 to refill. At least she’s gone And we’ve learned valuable lessons. Trust no one.
 
It might seem like a big price to pay at the moment and you could feel some disappointment with the way things turned out .In a few weeks you will realize how relieved you are that it’s all over and it could have been a lot worse .
I have been there and know how you feel.
 
Yeah could have been much worse. I was out thousands due to commercial use and the damage done to the kitchen. Count your blessings and move on and never rent to friends or family. It never seems to end well!

Change the locks, alarm code, wifi password etc!
 
How spiteful are you feeling. Is it worth taking a case against her with the RTB? You might get an award out of them, although very little chance of actually being paid. Upside might be she winds up on a list somewhere and has major difficulties renting elsewhere.
Similarly, if she's removed fixtures and fittings, that's theft. Report her to the gardai. Again, you're unlikely to get anything back, but it could make her life difficult.
