    Leaving RAS at end of contract

    If they are a RAS tenant, I would imagine they will be completely unable to pay the "full rent amount"...which will be what? How much of an increase will you be looking for? You can ask them to leave but if they don't, and they do not have to until the notice period expires, you will not win a...

    Warning to landlords considering HAP tenants

    You are wrong, they are the exact same standards. There is no checklist for HAP, there is only the standards for rental accommodation.

    Warning to landlords considering HAP tenants

    You hear wrong. I have it in front of me, its 7 pages long and minimal. Inspection takes ten minutes and most pass.

    Warning to landlords considering HAP tenants

    Most inspections throughout the country are done by the council inspector, and its a very basic check that the house meets the same standards for ALL rented properties. There are no extra standards for HAP housing, as some landlords claim. Your claim that you lose rent is also bogus. HAP is...

    Bag of Chips. Price increase.

    Vast sums to be made? Do you think every chipper is on O'Connell St with thousands going in and out of them? Most are in small towns and villages and barely breaking even, chippers are closing too. There's very little profit in them altogether.

    Taking in a tenant receiving FIS on rent a room scheme

    Her being on FIS has nothing to do with you, its not linked to you in anyway. It is not a housing benefit and you, your house etc could not be less connected to it.

    Landlord Costs To Bring Property Back To Rentable/Sale Condition

    Lot's of tenants do look after the property as they would their own, as much as they are allowed to, which they are often not. Landlords tell them that they can't paint, can't change anything, can't remove old/broken furniture, can't make any improvements, and then they complain that the...

    Legal to require a citizen provide a birth certificate for job?

    OP says the country in question does not have birth certs. In what impressive way should she try to get a birth certificate that never existed?

    Rent freeze - when does it end?

    I think many of you are looking at it from the LL/societal point of view and don't appreciate the needs or perspective of people renting.

    Rent freeze - when does it end?

    In the area I am speaking about, there are many more rentals now than there were then. Rent increases are not down to lowering of supply.

    Rent freeze - when does it end?

    It is absolutely a reality, which anyone long term renting knows. Where I live rents have climbed from 850+ to 1750+ for the same properties in less than six years.

    A number of issues over the will

    Someone with a minority interest in a property is not in a legal position to sell the house and realise their share. They can't sell it to anyone, even the majority owner.

    case of family dispute where courts decide if child not treated fairly

    They rarely are, so there is every point in making a will. And wills are over turned when there is a good reason to, like here. This man worked on the family farm for decades without proper pay on the promise of inheritance, which was then denied to him. I can't see any argument here that the...

    Entitlement to state pension

    It's especially unfair that the women excluded would have been the women forced into the home through marriage bars in work and lack of childcare, and women who could later choose not to work are included.

    Rent freeze - when does it end?

    I'm actually not. I've been renting for a long time, and rents rose long before the intro of the RPZ (obviously). That they climbed more at that intro was due to the mishandling of the scheme and the greed of landlords looking to make ever more profit. I'm still waiting to hear why...

    Rent freeze - when does it end?

    The evidence I have is my climbing rent before the RPZ! And everyone elses. Tenants don't care much about a positive effect on the market when they are faced with rent increases that they can't afford. Are you seriously suggesting that keeping rents down is bad for the people paying those...
