>Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien had asked the RTB to look at how the state could improve its response to illegal evictions.
I wonder what O’Brien’s response to this will be, if any, considering he was the one that asked the question.
Also, I wonder how long it’ll take for the Gardaí to be trained not to naturally side with landlords and get involved on their behalf when their privately hired masked goons try and illegally evict people?
Restricting access to a residential place that the tenant rents should be made a crime and that’s it, garda won’t have any excuse not to engage in these cases (now, obviously whether they’d have the workforce is a different matter)
Have to look at it both ways, easier legal eviction methods as well as heavy consequences for illegal evictions. Everything can’t always be anti landlord or there won’t be a supply to rent from other than REIT
Is there not already breaking and entering laws?
I am honestly surprised that this is not a thing already…..
They should combine RTB in with revenue and give revenue more resources to send every house in the country demanding the owner fill out their details including pps numbers.
Too many cash landlords scaming the taxpayer.
I think it’s a mistake to involve Gardaí in evictions themselves. I don’t want Gardaí helping to evict families just because the eviction is legal.
I think there could be improvements in other laws to allow Gardaí to do things such as recover property or prevent intimidation. Perhaps allow Gardaí to serve an order on someone trying to evict a reluctant tenant to hold off on the eviction for 48 hours. This will give time for the tenant to go to court and make arrangements for their property.
Imagine in this day and age that isn’t already on the statue books. I wonder why government have never considered putting that type of legislation on the books, would it be a conflict of interest, would it be because most politicians are themselves landlords? The most frustrating part of it all is people genuinely believe they are being represented by political parties, politicians and governments.
So it’s only a proposal . In other words , they still don’t have the power . Gardai can just propose power themselves can they not ? Fs
How is the average guard going to know whether an eviction is illegal ?
This wont happen because it essentially means every eviction will require a court order to present in case a Garda gets called to an eviction by an unhappy tenant.
Waste of Court time & Garda resources.
How about also giving Gardai power to arrest non paying tenants?
About fucking time
Still playing catch up to the modern world.
Is the RTB not an independent public body set up to operate a dispute resolution service? It doesn’t sound like they’re very independent if they want a random Garda on the ground to do the job of a judge and court without any of the evidence to hand.
Wow so landlords could potentially be arrested just for breaking the law. Doesn’t seem right
“Nahhhh lol” say national garda representatives when quizzed on this contentious topic.
But sure isn’t it a civil matter /s
Correct approach.
So another law that the Gardi won’t enforce. Great!
Why cant they arrest someone for breaking the law?
As a landlord, fine with this.
… as long as they also help evict malicious non-paying tenants. Eg no rent for 3 months.
