This is causing huge stress to those facing into an eviction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to fundamentally change how we treat renters by ensuring that real security of tenure is guaranteed. Nobody who pays their rent on time should live in constant fear of homelessness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2016, 40 households in Tyrrelstown in west Dublin were simultaneously given notices of termination. The Tyrrelstown amendment was passed to prevent the eviction of 10 or more households at any one time. However, due to major flaws in the amendment, notices of termination continue to be received by the residents of several apartment complexes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLandlords can take advantage of a gaping loophole in the amendment if they argue that selling a property without evicting the renters would reduce the value of the sale by 20 percent. By claiming this would cause them \u2018undue hardship\u2019 or be \u2018unduly onerous\u2019, they can still carry out mass evictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a golden ticket for landlords who want to cash in on soaring property prices at the expense of their tenants.
