What counts as landlord harassment in Ireland and what should I do if it happens?

A RentWise Team Answered by

Landlord harassment may include repeated unwanted contact, threats, intimidation, entering your home without proper notice or consent, or interfering with essential services to pressure you to leave. Keep a dated record of incidents and save messages, photographs and details of witnesses, then communicate calmly in writing where possible. If there are threats, violence or immediate danger, contact An Garda Síochána on 999 or 112; otherwise, you can seek information from Threshold and bring a tenancy dispute to the RTB. The RTB or a solicitor will assess what happened and decide what remedies, if any, apply to your individual circumstances.
