I need some help please. Tenant hasnt paid rent in over three months. Took her to RTB and they ruled in my favour but im waiting for the determination order to be finalised before i can try and progress things. I emailed her after the appeal time was up of 10 days to say are you still in the property and the rent is due etc. All she said was please refer to the RTB. I rang them they said she hasnt filed an appeal. I dont know what her intentions are. She is a nutcase problematic, from the beginning. She of course is a social welfare tenant. I rang them before and they said as she was claiming works were to be carried out by me that were not done that it was between me and her and they wouldnt freeze the rent. Of course RTB found in my favour and against her BS.
My question is Is there any point in me contacting the Social Welfare again to get them to freeze her rent supplement. Its paid directly to her! Yes stupid of me i know to allow that to happen. Never again. So if the rent is frozen is there any way of getting the Social to pay me instead of her. Eg if they see a copy of the order from the RTB? She will not sign a waiver over to me im sure as she is playing the system.
My concern is if i tell the Social Welfare and they freeze her rent she will be less likely to move if she doesnt have more money behind her and there is no point me getting them involved if nothing will be achieved by it ie i wont get the money.. Bottom line is i need her out. Yes it would gall me if she gets more money from them but i have to do whats best for me and get her out even if it means she seems to be getting away with it.. i just need her out.. No idea if she is going to leave and where she would go... This is every landlords nightmare.Any advice really appreciated.
