Renting and your lease

Check a lease before you sign, understand a notice you have received, or organise a deposit or repairs issue.

DlíWise helps you understand your situation, get your facts and documents in order, and take the next practical step — in Ireland, with the source and date shown.

What DlíWise does here

  • Read a lease or tenancy agreement and explain what each part means in plain English
  • Organise the facts, dates and photos behind a repairs, deposit or notice problem
  • Show you the official route and who actually handles it
  • Draft a calm, factual letter or email you can review and send

What it will not do

  • Tell you that you will win, or what a decision will be
  • Represent you at the RTB or in court
  • Replace a solicitor where one is genuinely needed
