    Paid Deposit - Tradesman Vanished, options?

    Hi all, Many thanks for taking the time to respond. After a bit of amateur sleuthing yesterday, (Facebook, voter register and RIP.ie are wonderful resources!) I can confirm the death of the family member, so that much was real (I had my doubts myself). I have an address for the small claims...

    Ustore it will rent you storage unit for about 30 euros a month (no connection, just ran a quick quote on their site) Why are you trying to protect someone who is effectively preventing you from protecting yourself financially? Incidentally a P45 is not a barrier to starting a claim, you...

    Want to sell Shared Ownership house and buy another one

    Is there some reason why you cant move back in for 6 months, have a 'clean' bank statement to present with your application? Its not clear if you intend to live there now and take over the mortgage or if you still intend to go ahead and buy an alternative property with your partner?

    Removal of Aggressive Tenant

    Sorry Mark I did read all the posts, but perhaps I wasnt clear. He wasnt due to leave until Jul 15 so thats what I meant by 2 months ahead of schedule, the PRTB route for an eviction means you would have been still waiting for him to leave this time next year most likely! I simply meant did...

    Removal of Aggressive Tenant

    Bear in mind that until July he hasn't done anything wrong so you actually don't have a problem, I am guessing that you gave the tenants all the same notice to depart and unfortunately its tough luck on you that the others are already gone. You offered him and incentive to leave and he declined...
