I am a neighbour of a rented house and went to PRTB after over 6 years complaints to landlord. PRTB agreed with me and is now legal and binding as of 3 weeks ago. Neighbours still as bad as ever and landlord of said house has sent his agent to let me know that if i bring future case against him he'll seek costs against me. I know he's trying to intimidate me but as i'm low earner has anyone advice how to deal with this. Going to citizens advice on Tues.
 
I would be inclined to speak to the local Community Garda and tell them that you feel that you are being intimidated and can they give you any advice.

As you're being intimidated & threatened make a formal complaint to Gardaí and make sure it's documented by them.

That behaviour is scandalous and you shouldn't tolerate it.
 
+1 this is intolerable.

Keep a Diary of every event, date, time, who, outcome, etc. This will make the work of the Gardai easier and will be essential in court.
 
If you ring the gardai as I did over a complaint my elderly relative had with a rented house next door. They were so good and didn't make me feel like a crank they gave me a case no (dont know if that is what it was called) but it was the number that I had to use anytime I had further complaints so they had record of the going ons. I must say I was surprised at the support I and my relative got from gardai but I would definitely go to them now.
 
Can the the PRTB go any further with this as you have brought a successful third party case to them ?. I was wondering if they have any role in enforcing the judgement in cases like this. Sounds like you have had years of hell.
 
The Residential Tenanacy Act which is from the PRTB states: under Landlord conditions
not penalise tenants for making complaints or taking action to enforce their rights.
 
Definitely contact the gardai, and it probably wouldn't hurt to let the PRTB know about it as well.
