Was anyone able to read the article? What could his excuse possibly be? Is that around two years of rent unpaid?

The percentage of rent withheld over the last 6 months appears to be 100.
I expected some dirt on the ditch crew to be dug up by the indo pretty quick. Didn’t see that though.
If I had to pay near 3 grand a month in rent to live in saggot I would be trying to burn Fine Gael to the ground too

Is this Irish Independent’s way of getting back on the lads from breaking those few stories on “we’re on the ditch”. 😏😏
It’s the stories like this that result in “some” people try similar tactics of not paying rent, and why some small landlords (as in not vulture funds or landbastards) have an inherent fear of staying in the industry.
The journalist isn’t the problem here
Alright, I’ll bite. Who’s charging nearly 3k a month for a house in drury Mills in Saggart?
Christ am I that out of touch, I thought somewhere that out, with over an hr on the luas wouldn’t be as expensive as that. Is it a 6 bed 😂
Jaysis he’s one of the lads from ontheditch!
>Judge Marie Quirke ordered Mr Shortall and his wife to vacate the property within seven days and pay the €49,632 in arrears.
Ahh….so pay what you owe & fuck off, kind of deal? Not saving much there.
What happens if he doesn’t pay it back?
Two things stand out. One that it’s clearly a find who owns his property so they have the team to sue him and two I was wondering when members of the the Ditch would start to appearing in headlines after their recent political exposes.
So after two years of living rent free does he just get fucked out? Doesn’t owe anything? Won’t have the company coming after him for the 50k?
And people wonder why landlords are leaving the market in their thousands. Judicial system is broken if a tenant can remain in a property without paying/partially paying rent.
Government are 100% at fault for allowing this situation.
Some dude tried running me into the ground for pointing out this chap is a little suspect last week. lol
€2750 a month rent.
Owed €33,818 6 months ago, owes €49,632 today.
That means they had been paying €115 a month.
“I withheld a percentage of the rent” is a little bit of an understatement.
Good game: What would The Ditch’s headline have been if this was a journalist of the independent and the ditch were reporting on it?
“Journalist who attended lunch with Fine Gael TD in 2008 benefits from below market rental payments to fund”
I mean u gotta pay the rent it sucks but has to be done .
One case where the landlord is not the one at fault
The irony of someone who writes for The Ditch getting caught out…
I pay my rent every monday. Each bank holiday monday at 9.05am without fail – my landlord rings demanding to know where his money is.
His potential legal career will now be in the ditch….👀😂
It’s gas how uncovering government corruption results in the tabloids getting their revenge. Obviously with a misleading headline, they don’t even care about their own articles or their contents.
>€50,000
so that like what – 2 weeks?
How sad is it that some people would get enjoyment from finding dirt on a journalist that exposed corrupt politicians,
make ye wonder how politicaly aligned most of ye are..
And before ye start a tenant can legally hold back rent if there are issues with the property, its the whole point we have these courts and goin by the article he has agreed to repect that court judgement..
Edit: He can’t legally withhold
Oof, there goes his deposit
AMC to the moon look it up in redit
The landlord needs to move into the Journalist’s new house.

Let’s see how he likes it the bollix.
For a fella training to be a solicitor he sure has a low opinion of the courts.
**grabs popcorn**
Absolutely shocking that he was being charged over €2700 a month in rent though.
Editor of On The Ditch just FYI.

Paddy must not be paying enough.
