Woman tells tribunal landlord became aggressive when she asked him to sign off on housing assistance payment

He was “extremely aggressive in his interactions” towards her that day, she told the tribunal, adding that she believed the notice to have been a “direct consequence” of asking him to sign the HAP application form earlier that month.

After consulting with a local auctioneer and the Residential Tenancies Board , she said phoned Mr Corley again a number of times over the following week. “The effect of the refusal to sign the HAP forms is to imperil the complainant’s tenancy and, in circumstances where HAP is the primary state support for tenants, is tantamount to refusal to continue to rent to the complainant,” the advocate said.

The RTB decision on other matters referred by Ms Keane is awaiting an appeal outcome, the WRC was told. Noting that Mr Corley “failed to proffer sufficiently evidenced reasons for non-attendance” in a failed application for adjournment, nor any communication indicating “any difficulty” attending the hearing as scheduled, Ms Deering had gone ahead and heard Ms Keane’s evidence without Mr Corley.
