You will be in breach of your lease, obviously, if you pull out prior to the break clause. But I know many landlords are taking a pragmatic view in the current climate so if you are prepared to kiss your 5k goodbye, then the best thing I think is to talk to your landlord. Give him plenty of...

Some people use the phrase 'Section 23' loosely. For example, if your property had 'Rural Renewal' tax relief, then in addition to sect 23 relief you would also have an additional relief which would allow you to offset rental income against Paye income. In Rural renewal if you occupy the...

7 days notice for anti-social behaviour is the way to go, I think. Threatening behaviour and talk of shotguns is pretty anti-social I would imagine. Actually getting him/her out is the tricky part though. Whilst you will probably be legally entitled to possession of your property actually...

Dinarius, You can't use the Small claims court for commercial debt collection. There is an article on the small claims court on my website....and the debt collection procedure in general. Whether you can charge interest or not depends on your invoice and the terms and conditions concerning...

If you are getting 3 months in advance and references then no there isn't anything else you should be doing. You are doing great at that.

I started in the newsagent game and went on to c stores. I would not do it now though,things have changed and the day of the pure newsagent is gone. Anybody,coffee shops,c stores etc can sell newspapers and the paper companies are obliged to supply. Fast forward 15 years and most people will be...

Have a look at a couple of articles on my website http://www.businessandlegal.ie I have an article on the law relating to 1)trade marks 2)domain names and 3)internet law and doing business online. In fact I am giving away a free downloadable pdf mini book on 'Doing Business Online' but there is...

Re: Bad debtors Hi, I have an article on my website( http://www.businessandlegal.ie ) about doing just this through the various courts. You would be District Court and if you have a look at the article and then call in to the relevant District Court office they will be more than helpful. And...

I imported MP3s and MP4s from China not too long ago. The shipping cost was small as they came by DHL but unfortunately the instructions for the MP4s were in Chinese only. I would be slow enough to do so again because of the language differences but with sports equipment you should be safe...

I know that you want to buy rather than rent but the rock bottom rental figure they will accept should give a very good indication of the price they will accept for the purchase. They used to use a multiplier of between 15 and 20 times the annual rent. In the current market in your shoes I...

The Ber cert is mandatory for lettings since 1st Jan.2009 but the OP moved in in Autumn so strictly speaking there was no obligation on the landlord to have a BER cert for this letting. He will be obliged for the next one though.

The lease that your friend has will not make any provision for fall in footfall figures;however your landlord is not blind to the commercial realities of life in business in Ireland now and your friend's best option is to approach the landlord and lay it out straight to him. If your friend is a...

Get on to PRTB if your landlord will not put things right. Your contract is with the landlord and after 6 months you are entitled to a new Part 4 tenancy. The fact that the lease has lapsed is immaterial as you have an implied periodic tenancy and even if the landlord has not registered with...

Yes, you are right as it has become customary in the last few years to dish out what is called an 'All Sums due' mortgage. I have an article on mortgages here [broken link removed] which explains the different types. But essentially that type of mortgage covers all of your indebtedness to the...

Hi, If your friend's bad tenant has set up somewhere else then he must have probably had a quarters rent in advance to give his new landlord;if he has a new business then he had to kit it out with shelving,stock etc. One could conclude that the tenant was selective in who he paid and who he...

As other posters have pointed out you must register with PRTB. Have a look at [broken link removed] which sets out the main obligations on the landlord. How your investment is performing, how the mortgage payments are being made, what you income level is is immaterial-you must register and I...

Hi, I have 17 years experience in the convenience store game;started in the last bad recession in 1986 and did well then. The irony is that with what I know now versus then I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole now if the same opportunity came up now. So much for naivety and ignorance...

I would not give them an iou under any circumstances. I have an article on http://www.businessandlegal.ie on debt collection. I would pursue them through the proper channels and you could threaten to wind up the company after giving them a 21 day letter as they are technically insolvent if...

Jugovic, If the only parties to the contract were you and the tenants then the council have no liability. However some councils have a scheme called Rental Accomodation Scheme where they guarantee the tenant's rent and the rent allowance received by the tenant from Social Welfare is paid to the...

Sorry to hear about your situation but you can't go to court-you have to go to PRTB. Thats what they were set up for and court does not have any jurisdiction to hear the case. I know you did not register with PRTB but they are your only option legally in this instance and indeed in all...
