The deposit dispute process in Kilkenny is the same as elsewhere in Ireland: first ask your landlord in writing for the deposit and an itemised explanation of any proposed deductions. Keep the tenancy agreement, payment records, photographs, inspection reports and messages as evidence. If the issue is not resolved, you can apply to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) for mediation or adjudication, explaining the dispute and providing supporting documents. The outcome depends on the facts and evidence considered through the RTB process, so consider getting advice from a qualified solicitor or Threshold if the amount or circumstances are complex.
