Jim Gavin ha restituito al suo ex inquilino i 3.300 euro che hanno concluso la sua campagna presidenziale

It’s not ended if he wins

No true Fianna Fáiller would do such a thing. He’ll never make it in the landlording business being that soft.

With no interest. He’s stingy in doing the right thing as well. 

Are we supposed to celebrate that a landlord did what they were supposed to in the first place?

Christ eyes getting a bit tired. Read that as Jim Gavin raped his former tenant

I just hope the tenant enjoys getting that cheque.

It’s long overdue, it won’t compensate for the trouble it caused you and your family and it might not be that much in the grand scheme of your own finances now.

Tonight buy a big filthy Chinese – including starters!  – and put the rest away for a lovely surprise holiday.

Oh, and also sleep well knowing you did your civic duty to the betterment of us all.  

With no interest, and no adjustment for inflation. Essentially the bare minimum that he should have done 15 years ago.

I wonder did he end up rolling back on his communication that repayment was [“subject to clarifying two issues”](https://www.thejournal.ie/cohost-sunday-world-podcast-speaks-being-tenant-jim-gavin-niall-donald-6838334-Oct2025/)? 🤔

Inflation adjusted that should be 5k by now. I would demand payment in gold.

Is anyone still thinking of voting fir him?

LoL , I was only thinking of my worst landlord the other day after this story broke.
Was when I was a bit less fortunate and I was on HAP and the landlord decided to make up his own numbers of what I should pay.
130 a week on top of 50 to the council as a hap payment I also happened to have lost my job around the same time so was paying it out from job seekers.
All in I think he was getting 1400 a month between me and the hap payment the rent without hap was 700 euro.
Anyway I reported this fella to the hap placement officer and his words were ” you’re a smart man figure it out for yourself”.
Eventually it all got on top of me and I ended up having a severe mental breakdown trying to o.d twice and Slept rough for nearly 9 months.
And to top it all off the head social worker in the county council (not Dublin) decided that I was Dublin’s problem and Dublin decided I was the other council’s problem so neither would provide homeless accomodation.
I hope my landlord runs for fucking president

So he didn’t account for inflation? Cheap bastard.

Mad they didn’t just give him 15k before the presidential race to make this go away before it became a problem. Even madder he didn’t just, you know.. pay the money back when the error was found?

It’s such a small amount of money to the party considering what they would have got in return.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just pay the tenant sooner to make this all go away.

Without the interest pffft.

One mans rent is another mans presidential campaign.

If I got to be the person who denied my landlord the opportunity to be President, and the cost was waiting 16 years to get back the €3k I’d paid him, I would have taken that deal for about 75% of the landlords I’ve had in my life.

The tenant can have a nice holiday off that and sip a cold one knowing he played this beautifully.
