Bit confused as to how the rent was €500 in arrears if your ex-tenant was getting rent allowance....
Not all authorities pay the LL direct. Sometime a tenant doesn't pass it all over to the LL. The tenant can be late or behind with their portion of it.
I think that's mad. Surely RA should be paid in full to the landlord into a bank account.
I got a letter from SDCC that the house was being inspected under the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 1993 - 2009.
I am sure there are 100's of landlords who have been left high and dry with no rent paid from RA tenants. Why is the system like this? Plus it also means that those landlords are much easier to keep track of from a Revenue point of view - as in the State will know how much has been paid to them and how much should be returned in income tax from that rental.
The principle behind this is that it gives the tenant some responsibility in paying the rent.I am sure there are 100's of landlords who have been left high and dry with no rent paid from RA tenants.

However, even if the RA was paid directly to the landlord, if the tenant, for what ever reason has duped the Social welfare or fraudulently claimed, the social will ask the landlord for the return of all monies so obtained.
