Mary O'Reilly lost her unlawful termination case against the Residential Tenancies Board after it ruled that she was not a recognized tenant of the apartment she occupied with her late partner, Tommy Goldrick. O'Reilly claimed to have lived there for around 12 years following their relationship that began in 2010, but the evidence did not support her assertion of legal tenancy. The ruling highlights the importance of formal tenancy agreements in residential housing and the challenges faced when informal living arrangements are contested legally.
"The RTB found that despite Mary O'Reilly's claims of renting the apartment for around 12 years with her partner, evidence did not support her status as a tenant, leading to the dismissal of her unlawful termination case."
"Mary O'Reilly described her life in the apartment with Tommy Goldrick, emphasizing the longevity of their relationship since 2010, yet this emotional appeal did not meet the legal definitions of tenancy according to the RTB."
