Threshold provides a wide range of information, advice and downloads on our website. To help you find what you are looking for we have divided this in to the three key stages in the lifespan of a tenancy:
- seeking private rented accommodation,
- dealing with problems during your tenancy,
- ending a tenancy
If you cannot find what you are looking for or need to talk directly to an advisor you can contact your nearest office in Cork, Dublin or Galway through our national free phone helpline 1800 454 454 Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm.
