What outcomes can the RTB reach when a landlord claims a tenant has behaved antisocially?

A RentWise Team Answered by

The RTB may uphold a termination notice, decide that it is invalid, or make related orders such as compensation where loss has been established. It will consider the individual facts, including the seriousness and frequency of the alleged behaviour, warnings given, witness statements, Garda reports and other evidence. A landlord must generally follow the correct notice procedure, although shorter notice rules can apply in serious cases involving anti-social behaviour. The outcome is not automatic and depends on the evidence and legal requirements, so check the RTB’s guidance or speak to a solicitor about the specific tenancy.
