I can understand what you are saying, but I have been on to the PRTB and as the tenancy was never registered they will not get involved.
Why would he give the tenant's money to the solicitor? The debt (albeit disputed) is owed to the tenant, not to his solicitor.Huff and Puff. Send a crossed cheque (made out to the solicitor + write details of what it is for on the back) to the solicitor for what remains of the deposit after your deductions. Long with a list of the damages and photos etc. That way the solicitor will be happy to gets some money in, if his client does not pay their bill.
Broken bed, door broken off dryer, missing microwave, broken gas hob, broken side gate, broken lawnmower x 2, etc etc. I have noted where cleaning was required, but have not made any deductions for the same.
PRTB have no involvement unless the tenancy was registered with them. Obviously, why would they get involved if the tenancy wasn't registered, it's nothing to do with them.
Landlords can only avail of the dispute resolution service if the tenancy to which the dispute relates is registered with the PRTB. Tenancies cannot be registered after the tenant/s have moved out, as the tenancy no longer exists. However, landlords can consider pursuing their case through the[broken link removed].Tenants can avail of the dispute resolution service even though the tenancy may not be registered with the PRTB, provided the tenancy is not exempt from registration under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004.
Type of claims dealt with
(a) a claim for goods or services bought for private use from someone selling them in the course of a business (consumer claims)
(b) a claim for minor damage to property (but excluding personal injuries)
Just in case you missed the point above, the PRTB WILL get involved if the tenant asks them.Just for info (As mentioned previously), the PRTB will not get involved unless the tenancy was registered. I checked with them, and asked them to get involved, but no hope.
