Joseph Donnelly and Maeve Drury stated, 'We did not mean to stay in the dwelling that long, but we could not find alternative housing.' Their search for other accommodations within their budget was unsuccessful, resulting in a significant financial burden as they accrued over €35,000 in arrears while renting the apartment in Dublin.
The Residential Tenancies Board's ruling highlights the increasing pressure on renters in Dublin, who face exorbitant rental prices, making it difficult to find affordable living arrangements.
Landlord Donal Sheehan received the ruling to recover arrears, emphasizing the importance of maintaining financial agreements even amidst personal struggles that tenants may face.
This case brings attention to the broader issue of rental affordability in urban areas, as many tenants are caught in a cycle of debt when unable to secure alternative housing.
