What happened

The Landlord, representing the estate of the deceased property owner, filed an application to determine if the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the occupants. The primary issue at the hearing was whether the applicant had the legal standing to bring the application on behalf of the estate. The Occupants did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The dismissal is based on the finding that the applicant failed to prove she had the legal standing to represent the deceased Landlord's estate, as she could not produce a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.
