A landlord who evicted his tenants by telling them he was selling up has been refused planning permission to convert his Dublin city centre property to Airbnbs.
Marc Godart was already letting the apartments as Airbnbs when he submitted the application. He has been given a four weeks cessation notice after Dublin City Council deemed this as “unauthorised use of the property”.
Mr Godart evicted his tenants at Reuben House on Reuben Street, Dublin 8 in August 2022 telling them he was selling the apartments. However, not too late after that some of them saw the property listed as an Airbnb on holiday websites.
