If you are threatened with possession proceedings the Social Welfare Department can assist.

Dealing with possession proceedings can be a daunting experience because there are different laws that apply if you are tenant of a local authority or of a private tenant. Each client has their own particular set of problems and concerns which need to be addressed.

Our department focuses on assisting our clients not only with immediate effect to deal with the threat of eviction but also in planning a sustainable way forward to ensure that the problems do not immediately reoccur. The department also offer Debt advice to help clients plan a way forward.

Where it is appropriate we will advise you as to whether you should consider bringing a counterclaim in disrepair to any possession proceedings taken against you.
