    Court report on getting a PRTB determination implemented

    The problem is the time frame of the RTB. Once you submit a dispute it takes weeks to get a hearing date - which can be adjourned by the tenant if they make a good case. Then once the hearing is over it takes another week or so for the adjudication report to be issued. Then the tenant has 10...

    Court report on getting a PRTB determination implemented

    I know this is an old thread but the situation in this area has definitely not improved - in fact from my experience it's getting worse. The RTB waiting times to get a dispute resolved are getting longer and longer. I'm trying to get a non paying tenant out of my property for nearly a year now...

    Becoming A landlord (Need advice from experienced landlords)

    My advice - DON'T DO IT. I am currently trying to get a tenant out of my house so it can be sold. The rent hasn't been paid for months yet I still have to cover the mortgage. The most frustrating thing is that if I am in arrears with my mortgage my credit rating gets shot to pieces whereas as...

    Health Insurance Bluecrest Ireland

    Got a notice in the post yesterday asking me to make an appointment with this crowd for a health screening. It seems to cover everything and is only €149. Am a bit skeptical - sounds too good to be true. Has anyone used this service?

    Is House Insurance mandatory from a mortgage perspective

    I've had home insurance with different companies over the past few years. However this year my mortgage company have come to me looking for proof of this as they say they had no record of it. I sent them a letter of indemnity from the insurance company, however they say that the rebuild value I...

    Visiting a patient in Blanchardstown hospital

    Make sure you feed the parking meter while you're there. They have clampers there who have no sympathy whatsoever if you're over your time - even if you're visiting a dying patient as was my experience recently.

    I have a few old laptops that are still working but would like to get rid of them for a bit of cash and buy a decent new one. Is there anywhere that would buy second hand laptops either in the Dublin area or online?

    Will I use this 65k as a frest start ?

    even after legal separation, your wife could come after any subsequent inheritance (or for argument's sake, even a lotto win), unless otherwise specified in your agreement. A separation agreement should be watertight and should have the correct language to cover everything up to you inventing...

    Motor Liberty insurance

    I was simply shopping around - like we have been advised to do. I just thought this seemed like such a scam that I wanted to share it. Needless to say I went with a company that offered me a better rate but I think that the ads that Liberty have on the radio are misleading. I would like to...

    Inheritance and separation

    It might be worth your while going to see the court clerk with the papers you have. They are the best people to tell you what you need to go forward with your divorce.

    Inheritance and separation

    Is your agreement a judicial separation - ie was it stamped by the court or did you just draft it between you. If you have an agreement in place and your ex is happy to give you a divorce it might be better to just go ahead with it. You can do it via a solicitor or you can do it yourself by...

    Inheritance and separation

    Unfortunately under Irish law there is no such thing as a full and final settlement in family law. It was one of the concessions made when bringing in divorce. It means that even after divorce either party can go back to court looking for more. It is very unfair and means that if one partner...

    Passport Office

    Passport Office

    I've been checking my boyfriend's passport application on line since 1 April - it just keeps telling me that it's registered. I tried calling the passport office this morning and eventually after 2 hours of trying I got through but they wouldn't give me any update as it wasn't my application -...

    Dublin Bus fares / lack of change given

    Why don't you get a pre paid ticket. It works out cheaper in the long run and you never have to worry about having change. I rarely take the bus but always have a 10 journey ticket with me just in case - you get 90 minutes per swipe so you can take as many journeys on the buses during that 90...
