Girl renting room in house refusing to move out

I'm not an expert in this field but why would owning another house make a difference? There are many examples of people moving away for work or other reasons and renting out their house while they are away. Tenants in that house will still have the same rights. I would not have thought it made a difference if the owners are renting, own another house or are staying with relatives somewhere else.

Clear only to you, did the other tenants rights disappear when the op moved in? At the risk of maths not being your strong point, four rooms, four separate rental agreements, makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

There is another room in the house that he uses as a bedroom. I taught you re-read the thread was was it the parts that suits a certain analysis

The tenant has not appealed his eviction notice to the RTB so she probably accepts she is a liciencee as well.

Read it again you. He fulfills the criteria to have them all as liciencee's. There is no proscribed way of sending a notice to vacate to a liciencee, she know it legal and she has not challenged it.

You think a property owner can walk into a house full of tenants, throw a mattress on the floor of the living room and say, “Good news, you guys have lost all your tenants rights, you are now just guests in my house”?

Give your head a wobble.

This person will more than likely just leave which is a good outcome for you (OP).

Loads of people here state that the house is not your PPR, and has not been for a long time. This is a full house let, not a lodger or two. When you visit, you are the guest, on a mattress, somewhere in your own home /PPR, that is not a bedroom.

While this arrangement gives you flexibility to move back to Dublin easily enough, I just don't know why you don't just let the house out in full. Your life and work is in the North West now and for the foreseeable future it seems, so claiming to have a PPR in Dublin seems daft. As to why you want the hassle of all this on top of caring for a relative is another question/negative. The only reason I can see to do this would be for the tax free cash.

I would say there is lots of this going on, encouraged by a very generous tax break designed for those with a spare room or two to let out, not a full house, while they choose to live elsewhere.

Just because someone is living abroad, does not preclude their Irish residence to being their PPR and their lodgers to be licencees.

In a hypothetical sense, “Mary” lives in Singapore, but keeps her Irish home in Dublin. Mary does not like her Irish home to be empty hence rents out 2 of the 3 bedrooms to “Sheila” and “Brenda”, and keeps all her possessions and the use of the remaining room for when she is home in Ireland. Sheila and Brenda are licensees nonetheless and whilst Mary cannot claim Rent-a-Room relief being not ordinarily resident in Ireland, she must pay Irish tax on her Irish derived income from Sheila and Brenda’s rent.

This is the type of situation that the OP falls into and which the RTB themselves have described in the following licensee scenario: “persons occupying accommodation in which the owner is not resident under a formal license arrangement with the owner where the occupants are not entitled to its exclusive use and the owner has continuing access to the accommodation and/or can move around or change the occupants”

Hi can you please define a bedroom under statute? He is still reserving space and retains the discretion to move around rooms.

it doesn’t matter how long a licensee is a licensee, what matters is the definition of a licensee which this girl meets. You may disagree with the morals of the situation and the OP could possibly have a tax liability, but the girl is a licensee from a legal perspective.

They are not qualifying conditions for a licence.

Just some words on a website to aid understanding which seems to have failed in their purpose...

Sorry about that! Those particular words appeared after a particular case which involved student accommodation.

This will not go to court. The RTB will not take the case as it's outside there remit.

He has never stated that he lives there intermittently. You are creating facts.

That is immaterial it's he dose not need to live in it he just need unfettered access which he has and he has a personal room in the house. It's his legal PPR. The RTB will not touch this case

He resides there it's his PPR as defined by revenue. He may only reside there intermittently at present but it's his only property and his home.

This has been explained by berocca2016 in 2-3 different posts on this thread.

She is a liciencee it's his home he is allowed to evict. The RTB will not get involved

We all know he is sailing close to the wind with RAR. However that has nothing to do with the fact that she is a liciencee
