Our services for landlords and tenants

Two sides. One file. We handle the paperwork, the negotiation, and the pressure points that decide a case.

For landlords

We draft tenancy agreements, review lease terms, deal with deposit disputes, and prepare eviction notices that fit the file. When a claim is headed to the RTB, we sort the evidence first.

  • Tenancy agreement drafting with plain, workable terms
  • Lease enforcement and rent arrears advice
  • Eviction legal support and RTB representation
  • Deposit and damage disputes handled in writing first

For tenants

We review leases before you sign, check repair and maintenance rights, and advise on unlawful eviction claims. If the property is substandard, we map out the next move.

  • Tenant dispute advice Ireland for rent and repair issues
  • Lease review before renewal or move-in
  • Defence to eviction notices and possession claims
  • Claims for poor conditions and breached obligations

How we resolve tenancy disputes

Short timelines matter. We start with the papers, push for settlement where it makes sense, and prepare for the RTB or court if the other side digs in.

Step 1

Review the documents

We check the lease, notices, emails, rent records, and inspection notes. A small error can change the whole case.

Step 2

Push for negotiation

We speak plainly to the other side and test settlement options before a hearing takes time and money.

Step 3

Prepare the RTB file

If the matter needs a tribunal, we get the timeline, witness notes, and legal points in order. No loose ends.

Step 4

Enforce the decision

When adjudication or a court order is in place, we help turn it into action and keep the next step lawful.

Residential Tenancies Board process

The RTB decides many landlord and tenant disputes in Ireland. We prepare the file for mediation or adjudication and keep you on track with deadlines.

  • The RTB expects the tenancy record to be complete before the hearing date.
  • Settlement talks can save time if the numbers and notices are in order.
  • Eviction legal support starts with the notice itself, then the proof behind it.

What to expect

The timeline depends on the papers, the dispute type, and whether the other side responds on time. We tell you what matters, what can wait, and what needs action today.

Mediation Adjudication Possession claims Rent disputes

A tidy file changes the tone of the case. That part matters.

Co-ownership and partition disputes

Joint owners can agree at the start and clash later. When one side wants a sale and the other will not move, we deal with the split in a practical way.

Partition proceedings, mediation, and forced sale advice

We advise on property co-ownership disputes where a house, apartment, or investment property is tied up between co-owners. The aim is simple: sort the ownership issue, protect the value, and move the matter on.

When talks still work

If the dispute is about timing, payment, or use of the property, mediation can clear the air and reduce cost.

When court action is needed

If the co-owner blocks every route, we prepare the file for partition proceedings and keep the records tight.
