    Is it time for private landlord to exit the rental market in RPZs?

    I have served a termination notice to my tenants. The rent is way below market value (I can't increase it due to RPZ rules) and I cannot afford to hang onto property due to the rise in inflation and interest rates. I don't want to be in a situation where I am trying to sell it with tenants in...

    Form 11 - error entering illness benefit

    I managed to get it working - I don't know how though! On about the 3rd or 4th try I was able to do final calculation. The error message wasn't in red, so maybe not a critical error. @T McGibney - I didn't input € symbol, just the numerical value. Thanks, Maggs

    Form 11 - error entering illness benefit

    Hi all, I am completing my tax return for 2022. When I enter illness benefit, I get the the following error: 'Enter whole euros only; do not enter cents unless specifically requested' even though I entered a whole number - e.g. €1111 I think error may be related to the un-editable revenue...

    Taoiseach: "Possible ban on evictions during energy crisis"

    There has to be fluidity in the private rental market or you won't get people investing and those that have are running for the hills. The government have shifted the blame for lack of housing on the small private landlord, while quietly pocketing up to 50% of the rental income. And now they are...

    Sinn Féin wants to stop exodus of semi-professional and accidental landlords

    There are a lot of reasons for private/accidental landlords to sell at the moment: Lifetime tenancies Rent cap - if you're already charging a low rent, then you are stuck with it and this will have a big impact if you can only sell to other investors Constantly changing regulation for landlords...

    Rent increases to be limited to the lower of 2% or inflation.

    Agree with everything you said PebbleBeach. As an accidental landlord, I can deal with rent caps, freezes, high taxes etc. But the indefinite tenancies will mean I will lose thousands if I ever manage to sell. So unfortunately, I am out. My good tenants will get their 6 months notice within a week.

    Passport application delays

    Hi Susie - I'm in the same position as you. Issue date is 19th June and we're travelling 25th. I emailed them earlier in the week and they replied to say they notified the issuing office with my travel date. I'm optimistic I will get them next week! The thing that worries me is if there is a...

    @AnneB77 - great news. How did you find out that they sent a letter in Feb - did you ring them? How is a person meant to sign for letter if they're at work all day? Does An Post leave any sort of message? Thanks.

    Ulster Ulster Bank 'further redress" for a tracker restored 5 years ago!

    Hi Banking17 It refers to Mortgage Account:xxxxxx Sub-account: xxxxx As I only have one account, I'm presuming this is how they classify accounts. The text of the letter refers to the sub-account.

    Ulster Ulster Bank 'further redress" for a tracker restored 5 years ago!

    I am in same situation as Karro77 and diver. Got my tracker/refund back in 2013 after a year long battle. I however have had no correspondence from them re any compensation. Just wondering Karro77 did you contact them recently about whether you were due compensation or was this a bolt out of...

    Received refund but no compensation

    There should be no difference between our cases and the ones that are current at the moment. We were all taken off our trackers illegally and should not have to depend on the Bank being 'in a giving mood'. The only difference is, in my case anyway, that I recognized this was a problem a few...
