Surely the spamspamspam thing is secondary. Is there an issue with the tenant or is there not (taking spamspamspam out of the equation)? Tin foil is not an indicator of hard drug use in and of itself!
They all signed the lease but when you say "Anyone breaks the contract they lose the deposit" Each person who moved out quoted the exact same text provided by the PRTB.... I hereby give you 28 days notice and will be due my deposit back
You don't seem very clear on how the property is being rented. Or the laws and conditions attracted. I suspect what you've done is rented rooms. not the property.
I'll give the PRTB a call to check out.Very smart students those. Did they give you the notice in writing? That's the only bit of the rules I know that is a requirement. Yes the put it in writing (wording provided by the PRTB)
If you're renting by the room, which is apparetly what you are doing, nope is that not a very bad idea. agree Ditto the utilities. Next time they are begging to stay, let them deal with the utilities.
Why are so many of them moving around spamspamspam head probably the main issue here, is this normal for students. I don't take students myself, too much risk of damage, but uppity ones quoting the PRTB at me would drive me insane. I'm now with you on this Bronte
Even though I'm a landlord I don't know the rules on notice as I just ignore all that, if the tenant wants to leave it's fine by me. But no tenant has ever served me notice in writing or quoted the PRTB to me. Sadly I think this is a virus that will start spreading - I'm hearing this from other guys in our business, get ready for all the mothers crying that students can't get accomodation
I did though think if there was a fixed term lease that they couldn't serve you notice.
If they are using illegal drugs I would have them out on their ears. I don't buy all this "sure it is no harm" bull. We either respect the law of the land or there will be anarchy.

Im more than surprised by some of the replies and comments on this issue.
I don't want to know what my tenants are up to.
Once they pay the rent sure who cares what misery they are imposing on neighbours
To be clear - I rented the house for 1 year as I have done for quite a few years before..... I did not rent by room.
What problems are being caused to neighbours in this case? In any event, how could a LL be made responsible for the actions of others!? Neighbours have to formally complain to the Gardai. If our laws are not stringent enough to deal with anti-social behaviour, that's hardly the fault of a landlord?Once they pay the rent sure who cares what misery they are imposing on neighbours
A landlord is running a business. Not setting himself up as some sort of moral compass!postman pat said:Very good point,where does it end... do the liberals want "a la carte " laws?

Is this individual doing any damage to the property? If so, then it's an issue (but one which is down to the individual). Condensing it down, it seems that a group of house mates shared a house and found they didn't get on! That's hardly a new occurrence!Am I missing something here?... i dont care what people take/smoke/inject but if someone is spaced out in MY house I do.I"m on the side of landlords on this if I didnt make it clear before.
. I have been on the other end of the stick where the landlord kept my 1100 deposit because there "was a dead mouse in a press 2wks after we moved out"!! Threshold could do nothing so I was basically robbed!
