There have been a number of posts in this forum concerning aspects of the law surrounding residential tenancies and specifically the operation of the Rental Tenancies Board.
Some excellent points have been made and some genuine concerns raised, however there has also been an amount of unreasonable comment and some criticisms put forward about the operations of the RTB which are simply unfounded.
I thought it might be worthwhile to examine some decisions of the RTB and ground some some observations in fact.

Here is an RTB tribunal report where the landlord forcibly evicted the tenant. The circumstances seem fairly extreme, in that the landlord acted in a fairly extreme manner, there were only minor rent arrears, the tenant ended up sleeping in his car.
The landlord was ordered to pay €4,500.
