    If we try to get rid of him, he can launch a complaint with the PRTB which could take anything up to three months to get to arbritration. PRTB advised us off the record to just leave him there.

    He owes several thousand and the PRTB said they dont have the resources to chase him for the money yet if we put one foot wrong, the PRTB can fine up to €20k

    The above just says it all...f#cking sickening OP. I sympathize entirely with your situation if it is described accurately.

    That is as ridiculous as being liable for injury to people that break into your home.

    talk about priorities, stuff like this makes me think there should be a revolution, it should not be televised and we should have a nice big wall to put people up against.

    I cant suggest anything but I don't think Id be capable of showing the same restraint you have.

    Hang on ... so if the tenant is not paying and refuses to pay, they can just stay in the house rent free until the lease is up?! How does that make any sense?

    welcome to our wonderfully unjust country. It may not be legally the case but it seems to be effectively the case, the PRTB seem to have taken authority over something they are proving incapable of managing efficiently. If someone behaves as this tenant seemingly has there should be an efficient speedy means of removing them from the property and making them pay up.

    If the guy is truly a nutter then he needs help not a license to continue in the same vein.

    OP, harassing the tenant is unacceptable. The rest of you - advocating harassment and illegal evictions are not acceptable.

    Not 100% sure but I think putting the house up on the market for sale is enough reason to have him removed
    Its a one year lease.

    There is an accelereated procedure for eviction in the case of non-payment of rent.

    The correct way to resolve the situation is for either the tenant to pay up of the landlord to commence a legal eviction.

    Out of curiosity, how accelerated is it? would genuinely like to know how long you have to wait before you can legally evict someone who is not paying their rent.

    Is it subject to any delay because of a backlog of cases? If it is I am of the opinion the PRTB are not fulfilling their role properly.

    If it is delayed can the landlord get compensation from the PRTB for the lost rental income during the delay? If the PRTB cant fulfill their role in a timely fashion then I am of the opinion they should make up the shortfall.

    Could be wrong but the system seems to be unfairly weighted in favour of the misbehaving tenant to me.

    Thats all well and good.
    Unfortunately- there is legal precedent in favour of the tenant. It used to be that the law was unfavourably biased in favour of landlords- unfortunately instead of finding a happy equilibrium- its now firmly in favour of tenants. Something has to give......

    Too true. I wonder why they find it so hard to achieve a balance.

    Surely a couple of dyslexic monkeys with a faulty typewriter and expensive coke habits could have come up with something better than what we currently have?

    What disconnected or perverse/self interested group of people sits down, draws up this legislation like this and gets it so ridiculously wrong. It generates lots of conflict and work for solicitors/lawyers. Actually using logic and decency to achieve a happy equilibrium is not good for business it seems.

    Sounds like the guy could be mentally ill. OP, surely you have a next of kin for this guy that you can get in touch with? He may have done this before..

    Relax. Advocating an illegal eviction is not acceptable.

    Regardless of how obvious you consider something to be- you will be courteous towards fellow posters, or you will have a holiday from posting in this forum.

    If heating is gas/oil, remove a component from the boiler (next time he's out) so the heating will not work.
    He won't last long come winter.

    Can you not push for 7 day eviction in case of unsocial and dangerous activity?
