I've got a previous post on this site relating to a case I put before the PRTB. There's an outstanding amount of 4,800 Euro, owed to me by 4 tenants. The determination order has gone in my favour. From reading up on this I've found out that the PRTB's orders are not directly enforceable and that I need to go to court if I'm to appoint the sheriff to seize goods in satisfaction of payment of this debt. I'm interested in hearing any feedback from the community whether or not it's worth my while pursuing this any further. I'd love to turn the screw on the tenants (who've vacated the property long ago & probably think they've got away with it) but need to weigh up what's realistic.
 
Why not publish the determination order?

Maybe other landlords will hear about it and so you might make it difficult for them to rent again.

I wonder if one of the groups representing landlords have a sort of ICB - where they share details of bad tenants.

One of my backgammon friends had a cheque for £500 bounce on him. He photocopied the bounded cheque and sent it around to everyone he knew who might play this guy for money with the simple message "If you see John, please ask him to make good this cheque."

You could post the determination to a number of letting agencies asking them for their help in tracing the 4 tenants.
