Tenants in Dublin generally have rights to a safe, properly maintained home, reasonable privacy, correct notice before an eviction, and protection against unlawful rent increases or deposit deductions. The exact rules depend on the tenancy type, when it began and whether an exemption applies, so check the current guidance on gov.ie and the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) website. If a landlord does not address a problem, you can usually raise it with the landlord first and may then use the RTB dispute resolution process. The outcome of any dispute depends on the evidence and the individual tenancy facts; a solicitor can advise on a complex case.
