'Bad news' - agent who handed out eviction notices to 36 Wexford households said new laws 'very unfavourable to landlords'
"An agent who handed out eviction notices to 36 households on behalf of a landlord company in Co Wexford told one tenant: "Bad news. Have you heard about the new rental rules? We're serving eviction notices." This statement directly indicates the landlord's awareness of the incoming rental law changes and the deliberate timing of the notice distribution."
"Last Friday, tenants living in the Hazelwood estate in Bridgetown received notices of termination from their landlord, Patchflow Ltd, just two days before new rental laws came into effect. The proximity of these evictions to the regulatory change suggests a strategic effort to issue notices under existing rules before new protections became law."
Tenants at Hazelwood estate in Bridgetown, Co Wexford received eviction notices from landlord company Patchflow Ltd on Friday, just two days before new rental regulations came into force. An agent delivering the notices informed one tenant about the timing, stating "Bad news. Have you heard about the new rental rules? We're serving eviction notices." The coordinated timing of serving 36 eviction notices immediately before the new laws took effect suggests the landlord may have been attempting to circumvent the incoming rental protections by issuing notices under the previous regulatory framework.
