    Anyone on to challenge this woman or give another perspective? Or is Joe just going to let her go on and on...

    I’ve been on the verge of pulling out but I do have very good tenants.

    This is a standard tactic. He's setting her up.

    He probably has 20 callers lined up to say property is theft and she should have her property taken off her and given to the tenants.

    Ya, she really shouldn't be worrying about not having a pension if she dropped 270k on a property in 2006. Why not just leave the cash in the bank..?

    40 tenants. Probably income of €20K per month. How much is cash that disappears into her back pocket.

    Buy-to-Let is an investment. It can go up as well as down. Most small landlords don't want to know that. They assume the rent will cover the mortgage and some extra and that they can sell it for a lot more after. It's not how it works.

    The whole system needs reform on both sides. But we're leaving too much of it over to big business and the Robert Troy's of this world.

    She's whinging about paying for gas tests and insurance amongst others. That says a lot about her.

    Very different renting a room in your house...she can do as she likes and turf people out anytime she wants with very little reason. As long as she keeps under that 14k (I think it is)

    No Joe...just cute hoor rogue landlords who use their power and influence in government to further their own wealth and prosperity and go on to attempt to profit on the housing crisis that they themselves are helping to perpetuate.

    Perhaps she took out a mortgage to buy the the property.

    Joe regiularly has the landlords of Ireland on the air to plead their case as salt of the earth types who are only trying to make an honest buck withot a hint of sharp practice or skullduggery. Almost as often as he has his risible "self-published bukes" show.


    I suspect Jope is going to use this to spin an anti-shinners narrative. The real bogeymen if you're in the property game

    I’m not that familiar with the ins & outs, but I think unless you are on a buy to let or vulture scheme you can’t just turn your moderate rental business into a company for tax purposes. I would be doing that with my single letting property if I could; you’d want to see form 11, it insists on treating rental income separate to any other business.

    There should be law to protect the market too, if you don't pay a cent for in rent 3 months you are turfed out on your hole that following day with your posessions fooked out in the lawn.

    If you could divide up your large house and let out rooms on one floor away from where you live, it could be very workable.

    These HAP non-payment cases should not even be in private rented accomodation!! They should be in LA housing and evicted and placed in homeless shelter on non-payment.

    The good ol' PRPB. Takes the guts of a year from notice to quit to hearing to Determination Order. Then for another €100 you can appeal it and get another stretch in the gaff while it's ongoing, all pro bono. And when they finally issue a new order, it's the property owner who has to pay to enforce the order. It is farcical for the small time landlord to work with.

    This guy has a point about being able to remove tenants who are choosing not pay. They need to be removed in a timely manner.

    But landlords can be fecking horrendous. Repairs etc absolutely impossible to get done, slum conditions, definitely know people being kicked out for a "refurb" so they can up the rent above cap.

    I agree they are also massively driving up the cost of private rented accommodation for non LA tenants.

    I got my house about 8 years ago...I dread to think what I would be paying in rent now!
