A couple in Dublin, Ireland, got an eviction notice saying their landlord needed the house for his daughter. Something felt off. The notice showed up right after an argument over their dog, and the daughter had already graduated and started a job somewhere else.
So they hired a private investigator.
Over about two months, he checked on the house around 30 times. Almost every time, nobody was there. No one answered the door for deliveries either. When the case went before Ireland’s tenancy board, they found no evidence the daughter ever lived there and ordered the landlords to pay the couple’s moving costs plus damages.
What won the case wasn’t anything dramatic. It was showing up again and again and writing down what he saw. That kind of record is hard to argue with.
We see the same question here in Reno all the time: does this person actually live here? It comes up in landlord disputes, divorces, custody cases, insurance claims and more. Brian Erbis is a Nevada-licensed PI (#4253) and retired NYPD detective, and he handles residency checks and surveillance the right way: legally, carefully and documented well enough to hold up when it counts.
If something in your situation doesn’t add up, let’s talk.
