Ms Ann-Marie O'Reilly:

Yes, we have had a small number so I could not say this is rife throughout the country. Renters have been in touch with us over the years to say they received an eviction notice that appears to be in line with the legislation. The landlords may say they want to sell or want it for their own use. The renters move out but when they go back, maybe to pick up post, and talk to an old neighbour, they find out there are now tourists living in that home.

Unfortunately, we do see it happen. There will always be rogue operators in any industry. Certainly, there was one in the media last year that seems to do it as a business model. Unfortunately, it has happened.
