I am bringing the case. Tenant vacated herself but left substantial arrears.Did you bring the case to RTB? Or was it the tenant?
Thanks @NoRegretsCoyote . No termination notice as tenant vacated herself. I am well buttoned up on the procedural aspects. Thanks for advice re detail on evidence, as I was debating keeping it to the main pillars of evidence to make the case easier to navigate through and see the wood from the trees. As evidence for rent paid, if I submit a transaction statement from previous letting agent showing amounts processed, is that sufficient evidence of rent received…..or would I also need to back that up with bank statements showing the net transfers to my bank account from the letting agent?The RTB is more interested in procedure rather than justice.
Make sure you have submitted absolutely every piece of written evidence in support of your case to the RTB.
One issue that they focus on is whether the notice of termination you gave was strictly in line with the guidance.

I would have thought that, within reason, fair procedure is essential to justice.
Two reasons (1) I believe that the tenant does have significant capacity to pay the arrears (mid-level management position in a global MNC), and (2) as a point of principle, I believe it’s important to challenge situations like this.As a matter of interest, what do you hope to achieve?
An adjudication that she owes you €10,000 rent?
Will you be able to collect it?

Interesting. I am surprised they are into detail, as in general, they take about 15 days to respond to emails!!My personal experience is that they are very focussed on narrow procedural issues such as whether notices of termination were correctly dated and the like rather than any kind of "big picture" of how how the tenant or landlord behaved in the round.
Also anything that is borderline will be viewed in favour of the tenant.

I think it was about 3 months from start to finish. There were a few extensions as all of the evidence I submitted to the RTB needed to be shared with the tenants, and vice versa.Interesting. I am surprised they are into detail,
If successful you will get a binding determination order instructing the tenant to repay you. But if they don't pay it can only be enforced via court proceedings.(1) I believe that the tenant does have significant capacity to pay the arrears (mid-level management position in a global MNC),

RTB will do nothing to enforce.
Any chance this was a tactic to claim they were denied due process so they can demand an in person rerun?The tenant was on a phone no video . This put him at a significant loss as he could not see the actions / notes taken .
