Tenant awarded €10,000 over failure of landlords to fill out HAP form
The WRC upheld Mr McNamara’s claim that he had been discriminated against by his landlords because he was a tenant in receipt of HAP support
A tenant has been awarded compensation of €10,000 over the refusal of his landlords to sign a form to enable him to receive a Housing Assistance Payment.
The Workplace Relations Commission ordered the landlords, Aideen McCormack and Stephen Murray, to pay the compensation to their tenant, Michael McNamara, after finding he had been discriminated against under the Equal Status Act.
