The fact she is on welfare is a bonus. Contact her welfare officer and inform them of your circumstances. Get your EA to detail everything that has happened in writing and send it to the welfare officer and cc a copy to your local representative, highlighting the waste of public money etc. Make sure you see a copy first. If your agent is on a managed contract then they should be dealing with it, but for your own sake I would follow everything up. I would also phone your most pro active representative and make a big fuss about public spending yadda yaddaThanks for all the replies and information. I am going up to meet her tonight and see if i can reason with her. Social welfare is supposed to be paying her rent and she is obviously not using the money to pay the rent so I dont know if I can go down that road or not.
Been on to the solicitor and I can either go down the legal route which will be costly and could take up to months or just wait on her to go when ever she feels like it!! They said the EA or the guards can do nothing.
This country and the law is a complete joke!!

Ah now, I don't think thats very fair. Property ownership is just like business - there are up sides and down sides and you need to weigh that up when deciding to be a landlord. Some landlords are lucky and never have any problems and some just have loads of problems because dealing with the public ( i.e. tenants) brings all kind of problems.

No I dont think you have recourse to the Small Claims Court in this instance.Also you could bring the Estate Agents to the Small Claims Court
Why are you directing those comments at mf1?![SIZE=-1]"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"
It's hard to have much sympathy when you too are a law breaker. [/SIZE]
That judgement can't be made until we know what actual contract existed.Also you could bring the Estate Agents to the Small Claims Court for repayment of any fees you've paid them as they obviously have not fulfilled their part of the contract.
and I'm surprised you ended up with a SW tenant if you did use an agency, although for them it's probably the easiest option to recommend.
I think mf was just saying business is business and this is a hiccup that was unforunate to befall you. I wouldn't start preaching about taxes considering the 3 month lapse without registering with the prtb.
stifster said:(whatever about the tenants right to claim tax relief for the unregistered period.)
I didn't think that the landlord's failure to register with the PRTB impacted the tenant's ability to claim the rented accommodation tax credit whatever about the landlord's ability to write off mortgage interest against rental income?
Dont need a lecture. Its information Im looking for! Even if i was registered if doesnt seem that they would be much help to me either.
The bottom line in all of this is if this happens to you.... you are on your own!! You have been warned....
By the way I do and have always paid my taxes and have never looked for handouts by the government like a lot of people do. Whether I am registered is not the issue here!
My understanding was that in order to claim mortgage interest relief against rental income you hade to be registered with the PRTB. Maybe you're not aware of this but that is why everyone assumes you're not tax compliant when you say you haven't registered the tenancy.By the way I do and have always paid my taxes and have never looked for handouts by the government like a lot of people do. Whether I am registered is not the issue here!
kazza, you are assuming again. It's been asked a few times in this thread, but here goes again; what does your contract with the EA state?...All I was saying was I have paid an EA €1000 and I would of assumed the responsibility was with them until my contract was up with them and not for them to pick and choose what they want to do...
