artfoley - if I am a landlord and my current tenant isn’t paying rent, how soon can I start showing the property to prospective new tenants? Notice has been served on the existing tenant.
Based on my initial research I can’t enter the property without their permission so I’d have to wait until the non-paying pricks have left?
Being a member of the jetset business class, I presume you don’t need the cash tinnion, so let’s throw it out to the forum for inventive ways of ensuring your tenants get their comeuppance.
Depends how long they have been in there BT and yeah I’d say you have to wait til they’ve left.

Are you registered with PRTB brian?
I’m not the landlord I’m afraid Juhy. Just helping out a friend. Tenants are cunts, rent due on May 12 was received 41 days late. Already missed a payment so deposit was used for that. When they were told they’d have to leave the property they threatened to call the Guards and the Revenue. Be my guest.
One thing I am noticing is that there’s very little protection for small time landlords in this socialist paradise we live in. I guess that’s what we get for voting Obama.
I’m not but the landlord is.
Sell the property, case closed.
Under the legislation (04 act) your friend is entitled to enter the property to inspect and the tenant cannot unreasonably withold sucg consent. He should let them know he is coming in 3 days time and not phrase it as a question.
When was the notice to quit served?

Noticed formally served today so they have 28 days notice. Presume the cunts won’t pay the rent up to that period either. Deposit was already used to cover previous arrears.
Might be worth doing an inspection on a weekly basis to try and get them out and phrase it as scanning for any repairs that need to be done for the next tenant.
The general public are cunts.
They might be entitled to more notice depending how long they’ve been there if my memory is correct, up as far as 6 months even. Good luck to you if you want to do weekly inspection with 3 days notice each time for the next 4 weeks, can’t see what you’ll gain by that.
briantinnion if you are acting on the landlord’s behalf they are obliged to give you access provided you have given them reasonable notice, approx 3 days, i would do it in writing and eve reg post.
But i dont see much chance of you showing it with them there, they may just make life extremely difficult, what would they care they have nothing to lose.
Glas is right. Inspecting every week will lead to them willfully fucking your mate’s gaff right up. Shitting in the airvents and what not.
The extended notice is only if they haven’t broken the terms of the tenancy agreement. If they break the terms (which they have by not paying rent) then 28 days is enough.
Would my friend be entitled to pursue a claim in the small claims court for rent not paid? Don’t expect to get it but the tenant instantly started screaming for the cops and the revenue so I wouldn’t mind pursuing that course of action (after they’ve left of course) to piss them off and cause some distress.
Bear in mind my friend is in pretty severe financial difficulty so this situation is making their life very very difficult at the moment.

They sound like utter cunts but your mate could have sorted this easily by serving a notice once rent was a week overdue. Weekly inspections is the way to go.
Does he have their work addresses? If so all PRTB proceedings to recover the monies due should be served there and make sure hes recorded details of requests for rent etc. As much as possible should done by correspondence from here on in and notes of conversations should be made

Be cheaper than engaging a solicitor.
Has your friend a plan to enforce the notice to quit and physically get them out. I know two different people with the experience of non paying tenants and both had enormous trouble actually getting them out. In the end one (an older gentleman) had to pay them off for them to go and the other got the guards involved ( not really a help), changed locks and moved out their stuff but it took ages and was a nasty, messy business.

You would likely have to engage following this act regardless.
Christ that’s some dose, wouldn’t have the patience for that carry on. I’d move in with the cunts and make their life a living hell until they fucked off
Give me a kettle of water, a bag of sugar and a spoon and I’ll have them out in 6 mins.

Yeah of course he can pursue a claim but what’s the point? He won’t get anything out of it so it’s a waste of time and money and he shouldn’t bother with it but the threat of it might help. At this point your main problem is getting them out as Midshipman Asha outlined below. You’re not going to recoup any losses realistically, so you just want to get rid of them with as little hassle as possible now. Do everything to the letter of the law, don’t harass them with unnecessary inspections because it won’t help you solve your problem.
