Rubbish Bin Service

theguzman

My father has a house let to our tenant and we have discovered a problem with the tenant is hoarding rubbish in the attached garage and worse still has been burning rubbish in the backyard as this is is remote one-off house in the countryside. A rubbish collection is provided fortnightly by a private company formally this was provided by the council. We have flagged a rent increase coming on the property from next year of possibly €50-€100 per month.

We have spoken to the tenant of how he will be liable for this backyard burning if caught and to make an attempt to dispose of the huge piles of rubbish he has accumulated, some of which he has drawn from his job. Burning this stuff is not good for the ecosystem or health either.

The tenant is a good tenant otherwise with no issues paying his rent, the house inside was clean and tidy at the latest inspection. When he suggested he getting a bin service he basically had a mini-meltdown as he appears to have some personal grudge against the company responsible and the fact the council privatised it out to these operators.

With we increasing his rent we are thinking to pay a bin service for the house and he can use it, yes it will cost some money but better than the hoarding getting out of hand. Would this be tax-deductible I wonder against the rental income? We don't want to fall out with him, he is a good tenant otherwise and unlike alot of others is financially secure going forward and when the rent is on time this means alot.

He is not a good tenant.

The lease should state he needs a bin service tell him to get one or face eviction

Ring the council

Bin service, if paid for by the landlord certainly is tax deductible.

If he is a hoarder then this is not going to go away. It is like an illness.
