Section 117 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 – Redress of an interim nature may be granted

(1)In addition to the powers conferred by this Part with respect to the determination of disputes, an adjudicator or the Tribunal, in dealing with a dispute, may give such directions as he or she or it thinks appropriate for the purpose of providing relief of an interim nature to one, or more than one as appropriate, of the parties.

(2)Such a direction shall indicate that the relief it provides for may not necessarily be the relief provided for by the final determination made in the matter.

(3)As soon as such a direction is given, the adjudicator or the Tribunal shall reduce it to writing and forward it immediately to the Board.

(4)This section is without prejudice to section 189 and the power under subsection (1) may not be exercised in a manner which is inconsistent with or would derogate from any interim or interlocutory relief granted by the Circuit Court under that section.
