What are my rights if I’m arrested by the Gardaí? Can I refuse to answer questions, and do I need a solicitor immediately?
I’m renting an apartment in Dublin. What are my rights in terms of repairs, rent increases, and eviction?
In Ireland, tenants have strong legal rights under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004.
Step 1: Repairs: Landlords must maintain the property in good condition and make necessary repairs.
Step 2: Rent Increases: Rent increases must be in line with Rent Pressure Zones and follow legal procedures.
Step 3: Eviction: A landlord cannot evict a tenant without following the legal process, including giving notice and attending a Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) hearing if necessary.
Seek legal advice if you face any issues with your landlord.
