Last paragraph. Interesting.

Meanwhile, the Circuit Civil Court has ruled that people who bought apartments in blocks run by a management company may now have complaints against the company regulated by the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB).

Judge Jacqueline Linnane yesterday ruled that owners were tenants of a management company, and not excluded from the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004.

The ruling came after Gary Mallon, the owner of an apartment at Elmfield Court, Ninth Lock Road, Clondalkin in Dublin, was sued by S&L Management Company for allegedly not paying service charges.

Counsel for S&L said the relationship between the management company and the apartment owner was not that of landlord and tenant.
