Bespoke hearing preparation for RTB disputes — a pack composed for your hearing and every issue in it: dates checked against the law, evidence organised, procedure demystified. For landlords and tenants alike.
Dispute referrals are rising sharply. Legal costs are rarely awarded, so most people represent themselves — against a process with strict statutory steps and unforgiving paperwork.

Real hearings decide several issues at once — arrears, notice validity, rent reviews, counterclaims. Tick every issue in your case and your pack is composed for the whole hearing: your dates tested against the statutory requirements, your risks flagged in plain language, your preparation mapped to your hearing date.
Complete, case-specific preparation for your adjudication or tribunal hearing.
Get the notice right the first time — before a small error costs you months.
Plain language throughout, with the legal reason each question matters explained as you go. Ten minutes, start to finish.
Dates and documents run through the statutory requirements — notice periods, warning windows, service rules — and risks surfaced before the other side finds them.
Expectations, evidence checklist, chronology, timeline and submission template — generated from your answers, delivered on the spot.
Every deadline and requirement in your pack is computed from the legislation itself — notice periods, warning windows, service rules — applied to your dates.
Tenancy law changed twice in the last year, and court rulings keep moving it. Every pack is stamped with the law it was built on, and updated when the law changes.
The same rigour whichever side you're on. Preparation, not opinion — with clear signposts to independent advice and support services when your case needs more.
Your RTB copy was sent on the posting day. Under a 2026 High Court decision, postal service is deemed to take effect on delivery — so the copy may not meet the same-day rule, which can invalidate an otherwise compliant notice.
1Date of service: 4 November 2026
To the Tenant of the dwelling at [the property].
2The reason for this termination is that the rent due has not been paid, a warning notice having issued to you and to the RTB on 23 September 2026 and 28 days having elapsed without payment.
3The termination date is 5 December 2026. You must vacate on or before that date, 4and you have the whole of the 24 hours of that day to give up possession.
5Any issue as to the validity of this notice or the right of the landlord to serve it must be referred to the Residential Tenancies Board within 28 days from the date of receipt of it.

The notice must state that any validity dispute must be referred to the RTB — within 28 days of receipt for arrears/breach notices, 90 days otherwise (s.80). Its absence is one of the most common fatal omissions in real notices.
Every element here — and dozens more behind it — is what the engine tests against your actual dates and documents. Run your case →
