What counts as landlord harassment in Ireland and what should I do if my landlord is pressuring me to leave?

A RentWise Team Answered by

Landlord harassment may include repeated unwanted contact, threats, intimidation, entering without permission or reasonable notice, changing the locks, cutting off services, or conduct intended to make you leave; the facts matter. Keep copies of messages, emails and notices, and record dates, witnesses and what happened. If there is immediate danger, a threat, forced entry or a lockout, contact An Garda Síochána and do not put yourself at risk. You can seek advice from Threshold or a solicitor and consider bringing a dispute to the RTB, which will assess the evidence and circumstances.
