Common confusion points
Mistaking this form for a simple letter: This is a formal legal application, not just an informal complaint.
Not clearly defining the 'Order': Simply saying 'We want it sorted' is too vague; specify *what* the order should be (e.g., rent reduction to €X, possession granted).
Failing to reference the 1982 Act: You must tie your issue back to that specific legislation.
Using this when a simpler mediation process is available first.
