Can you tell me, i have read you can offset the tax own in regard to the mortgage interest used to buy the property.Yes, I'm selling it, absolutely no question of renting again! Yeah, that's a possiblility, as far as I know they've left the country.
I'd advise lodging a complaint with the RTB yourself first seeking full costs for all damage caused. I have a friend who has similar issues with damage and furniture removed from the property who just withheld the deposit. The tenant lodged a complaint to the RTB and even admitted to some of the damage and removal of furniture during the hearing, but the RTB still ordered the landlord to return the full deposit.As I dig deeper into the house I keep finding more damage that was well hidden, things missing etc. I've changed my mind and decided to deduct the appropriate amount from the deposit and let them go to the RTB.
Seriously!? Why the landlord bashing again?No one likes landlords
Read the rest of the sentence. I've put it in bold in case you missed it first time.Seriously!? Why the landlord bashing again?
No one likes landlords but the world still needs them
You still said it, and it's unfortunate when anyone says it, as that attitude is at this stage baked into the national psyche and has as a consequence done immense harm. The last acceptable bigotry?Read the rest of the sentence. I've put it in bold in case you missed it first time.
And if a little hyperbole isn't allowed to make a point from time to time I think we'd have a pretty dull experience here
There was no "twisting", the exact words were quoted.twist them to suit your narrative
I think, and it's only a hunch, that some / a lot of landlords are leaving their properties empty due to excessive tennant rights and taxes. Otherwise we'd see a lot of properties up & down the country for sale, but we're not. Maybe the property investors are happy with long-term capital appreciation. Of course, if this is true, it's a double-whammy for those looking to rent and to buy.I was astonished at what I saw. There is literally ONE property for rent (0.01%) and 115 properties (1%) for sale.
There are literally a hundred times more properties for sale than to rent in the example I've given.Otherwise we'd see a lot of properties up & down the country for sale, but we're not
That might be true, but is the number of properties for sale a lot higher than it was say, 3 years ago? If landlords are leaving the rental market and selling up, I would expect a lot more For Sale signs around the place & online, but I don't see it.There are literally a hundred times more properties for sale than to rent in the example I've given.

Thanks Sarenco. It's good to get something more official and accurate than my hunch!Listings of houses for sale on myhome.ie are up 32% year-on-year.
I agree, they're leaving the market alright and in drovesAll the evidence points to an exodus of landlords from the market and this has led to a chronic shortage of rentals coming to the market.
