Leeside Apartments Residents Vow To Stay In Their Homes

They're to lodge an appeal against a decision by the Residential Tenancies Board to uphold their eviction notices


Residents of Leeside Apartments are vowing to stay in their homes while they lodge an appeal against a decision by the Residential Tenancies Board to uphold their eviction notices

Yesterday a group of residents travelled to Dublin and held a press conference calling for the introduction of legislation to protect tenants from evictions on the grounds of refurbishment 

Homeless rights campaigner Fr Peter McVerry lended his support to the residents who have until tomorrow to mount their appeal after the RTB upheld eviction notices issued by their landlord, vulture fund Lugus Capital.

Resident Aimee O'Riordan is one of more than 20 households at the apartment complex who face homelessness and she told RedFM News that she has lost faith in the RTB
