WRC rejects housing assistance discrimination complaint against landlord

By Saoirse Doyle

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Silke Dahms’s complaint that landlord Evgenia Anikina McCabe discriminated against her on the housing assistance ground by refusing to complete a HAP form and later serving a notice to end her tenancy. Adjudication Officer Catherine Byrne’s decision was dated 6 November 2025. McCabe said she and her family planned to move into the house after deciding to sell the pub where they lived. The adjudicator accepted that as a legitimate reason for the notice and found no connection with Dahms’s HAP application. The complaint was not well-founded.
