had a similar situation a few years ago with a right scumbag. the only difference was the landlord got rid of him eventually. if you can't get the landlord onside you might be stuck with him. if this is the case you have my sympathy.

- Complain to Waterford City Council housing office
- Ring the Gardai when something is going on
- Complain to landlord
- Complain to the Private Residential Tennancies Board (if no joy with landlord)

+1 to this advice especially the PRTB if it comes to that, they have increased powers of late and can actually order a compensation payment to residents effected from the landlord. Its a powerful tool to use against 'I dont give a $hit' type landlords. Do make sure you have your complaints logged with the guards etc though

wellboytoo

Get the landlords home number ring him every single time there is an incident organise with your neighbours to do the same he will get the message .

dickwhittington

cheers, sent the landlord ****loads a letters/phonecalls etc but he dont wanna know and as re the cops, keep em updated but apparently yer mans dangerous an all so if he gets wind a who reports it hes liable to set me house on fire!! mite check out the prtb actually....most of the street tried gettin em out at different times and came up short for same reasons!!

mozattack

It's always the landlords fault, eh?

Never the scummy tenants is it?

A joke

Of course its the tenant's fault the landlord obviously doesn't want any hassle but at the end of the day its his house so everything end's up with him. Keep notice of all incident's you see, report them every time to the gardai , landlord, council if you live in a council estate. After a while even though its not the landlords fault that there is hassle tell him you have kept note of all the hassle you have spotted and tell him that you are thinking of taking it further sometimes that works.

dickwhittington

no its aprivate estate but tenants in question on rent allowance. the landlord has had complaints the last few years since they are here. he has apparently said that they like it here so if he makes em move out they wont and twill take him a year thru courts to get them out, and he'll get no money in that time blah blah. full of s**t...tis fairly annoyin and to be honest yer man staying there has a bad rep and people dont want him knowing their reporting him, which the landlord has done/is liable to do thus people are weary of gettin together and gettin em out once and for all unfortunately..ive heard things like if he knows he could come back and burn the house down etc. thats the reputation he has around here......sick of it meself, so dont care. ill do owt :mad:

Dick, as a matter of interest, what sort of antics does he get up to?

dickwhittington

driving around like a lunatic, cars coming and going at a frantic rate, calling into his for whatever reasons, smoking dope in the street where kids are etc. has abused nieghbours e.g he told his kid to hit another young fella lately and when approached he spoke like an animal. unrepeatable to be honest but it was vile and to a young mother......the list goes on, anti social stuff and the like.....some bogey now! frustrating..

when there is an issue arrange for all neighbours to call the guards / council at the same time. Its much easier to ignore 1 complaint than 15.

Footage of whats going on would also help. Get a diary and keep dates and times.

sounds like an ignorant pig, our taxes are paying for their rent allowance too, this country! i would say complain and complain, if he is smoking hash on the street call the guards. unfortunately, the welfare/state dependency culture we have means his kid will more than likely grow up to be exactly the same.

dickwhittington

max ur right , makes me angry...everyone in the cul de sac here scraping to pay mortgages and their running a muck with a house we're paying for..sickening. dont help the landlords a twat and they're meant to b dangerous..appartently even the inspectors that call are warned to not call alone!!

dickwhittington

ps hopefully the council r whoever deals with housing list etc MAKES them take a house somethin in the near future

Well hopefully when they go they absolutely thrash the house (which most likely will happen) and the landlord has to pay a fortune to fix it.. then maybe he might be a bit more choosey about who he puts in the house in future.. in the mean time a nice bit of rotten fish down the drain pipe might do the trick!!!:D

I believe the HSE guarantees the landlord thehouse will be put back the same as they find it when the lease expires. So unfortunatelythose trashing the house will cost the tax payer and not the landlord.
