A landlord’s bankruptcy does not automatically end your tenancy or cancel your right to have the deposit accounted for when the tenancy ends. Ireland has no general statutory deposit-protection scheme, so recovering the deposit may involve making a claim against the landlord’s estate, with the outcome depending on the insolvency process and other creditors. Keep your tenancy agreement, payment records, messages, photographs and evidence of the deposit, and contact the appointed receiver, liquidator or trustee if one is involved. Do not withhold rent without advice; the RTB may provide dispute-resolution information, while a solicitor can advise on your position in the specific insolvency.
