He also described tenants as a “business risk” taken on by landlords because of the possibility that their tenancy may not work out. But he said that Ireland’s strong tenancy rights meant it was difficult to evict a tenant “very quickly” and said it was likely that it would never be possible to do so.
“It’s not well known now, but if you rent from a professional landlord, from a REIT or from a company, you actually have a stronger security of tenure than you have if you rent from a private landlord,” he said. “A REIT won’t recover possession from you on the basis that they want it refurbished because the properties are probably kept at a higher level before they rent them.”
I rented my 1st house to a migrant couple on rent allowance. They stopped paying rent after 3 months and it took me nearly a year to get them out. Social welfare couldn't legally stop their payment.
My heart bleeds for them. Will nobody think of the poor put-upon landlords?
HAP tenant cost me over €30k re legals, lost rent, and refurb as I had to sell. Similar story everywhere....norm landlords fleeing market
Some landlords would want to get a grip.... 'DIFFICULT' tenants = unreasonable 'LANDLORDS' FACT 🙄😠
