Tenancy disputes in Waterford are generally handled through the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), using the same process as elsewhere in Ireland. A tenant or landlord can apply for dispute resolution, usually beginning with free mediation, while adjudication is available where mediation does not resolve the issue. Keep relevant evidence such as the tenancy agreement, messages, payment records, photographs and notices. The outcome depends on the individual facts and the RTB’s decision-making process; a solicitor may be useful for complex disputes or important legal questions.
