    Parcel Motel - where to make a complaint about them?

    Thanks for that , I sent a request for a refund of credit. Received an acknowledgement and a Case Number back. As of this morning there's nothing on the Parcel Motel website about closure!. (I did receive a notice by email on 13 Jan)

    Homeowner can't move back into her home because of eviction ban

    Legal advice on the 'then current' situation regarding notice to end a tenancy. The legislation that this landlord appears to have fallen foul of is the miscellaneous part of the" Regulation of providers of Building Works and miscellaneous Provisions Act 2022". This came into effect on 06 July...

    Homeowner can't move back into her home because of eviction ban

    I am gobsmacked by the level of discourse and by the misplaced entitlement evident in the discussion in this thread! In my opinion when you rent out your home, it ceases to be your home. When you enter into a business contract with another party you both have to follow law that clearly bounds...

    Homeowner can't move back into her home because of eviction ban

    Re a Statutory Declaration. I was in this position when working abroad and can confirm that "A diplomatic or consular officer of Ireland" is legally able to witness a statutory declaration. In my case an officer in the Irish Embassy in Riyadh.

    HAP Tenant has taken in Refugees.

    The exact limits of what your tenant is allowed to do concerning sub letting ( if this even is what your tenant is doing) depends on your previous agreements with her and what lease may exist. So you could start there. But your opinions in the rest of your post lead me to think that you do not...

    Living away from PPR and Rent A Room Relief

    @ Mathepac: In the absence of knowing the intentions and actions of the OP's friend I am not convinced that your absolute statement is correct. AFAICT from the below linked document exemption for CGT for a PPR can apply for time spent abroad as under under certain conditions PPR can remain in...

    Sell apartment with or without tenant in situ?

    If you have made the decision to sell, as you seem to have, then you should not mess about. As you say it's an investment property, so you (should) want to maximise your return on your money. You don't mention a timeline on your purchase of your new house but consider notice periods. Trying to...

    Should Landlord or Tenants pay for home improvements

    You might question why the tenants need access to the attic, it sounds like you don't have it floored. As noted above, I would argue it should only be accessed for plumbing and electrical works. Perhaps insulation works. And its not down to the tenant to do these types of works. But if the...

    Company moving payment date from the 15th to the 28th of the month

    Hi You say that you are being asked to sign an amended contract? So it seems that the company can not unilaterally make the change and need your agreement. However not agreeing may not get you anywhere as a lone voice. Can you show that you will suffer a financial loss as a result of this...

    What happens with packages worth say €100 from UK after the car crash that is Brexit?

    Source from the EU when the time comes is a good shout. I am looking forward to the breaking of the cosy agency arrangements that meant that for some goods EU suppliers could not engage with you and directed you to the UK agent. J

    Renting house below market rate/ staying one weekend a month? Register RTB

    Theres the 'blindingly obvious' and there's the law! My point is that legal definitions often do not correspond to what we ordinary muggles generally think they do. The OP might maintain this property as his home in Ireland, register bank accounts/cars etc at the address and have his mail...

    Can I give a Notice of Termination to a HAP tenant from August 2020?

    I think you are confusing two different concepts. As far as I understand the situation: Firstly I believe that you can sell the property with the tenancy in place, the buyer taking on the role and responsibilities of landlord. Perhaps others here can comment on this too. Secondly you may...

    "Bank customers should save themselves from scams"

    I was nearly caught by this scam. Was not fully thinking and was preoccupied as I needed access to 365 for some upcoming transactions. As you can see there's a good facsimile of the 365online web page including the secure padlock icon. I copped on while inputting details. As I thought it quite...
