This is how to deal with slum landlords. It all started with a tenant anonymously reporting him to revenue, which sparked an investigation. Between him & how wife they now owe €3m in unpaid tax + interest

  2. If your landlord is not a nice person, report him he to revenue. I have work colleagues who’s boss was not a nice person and they knew he had property rented out , so they reported him to revenue , he had to pay up , 👍👍👍😂😂,

  3. In Scotland you need a HMO license (House with Multiple occupation) if renting to 3 or more unrelated people.

    This includes additional checks for for fire safety, minimum standards and good state of repair. Renting out an unlicensed HMO is a criminal offense and the houses are inspected more regularly.

    Would like to see something like that here or give RTB more teeth to go after slumlords like this.

  5. From the article: An email about rent being paid in cash was sent to the Revenue’s Good Citizen tax evasion reporting system in 2009, sparking the inquiry into the couple.

  6. **Landlords! Remember, cash is tax free!**

  7. The investigation from Revenue was started all the way back in 2009 due to an email received from a tenant. That is insane, over a decade from then that the judgement is made against them. Fair play, I’d say it was a lot of work. Hope the pair of them are forced to pay up timely.

  8. Since he only accepts rent as cash, he should also be charged with discrimination against HAP applicants which is also illegal. Throw the book at him.
