He had evicted his tenants claiming he was selling up.

The landlord of a Dublin apartment block has been found to be using the building for unauthorised holiday letting.

The man had evicted his tenants claiming he was selling up.

Reuben House is a six storey building on Reuben Street, close to the Coombe hospital .

Up to 45 people were living in apartments there when they were issued with notices of termination last August according to the Irish Times.

They were told there was an intention to sell the property.

However the rooms were then advertised on Airbnb as hostel style accommodation.

Dublin City Council has now issued an enforcement notice ordering that the short term letting stops by April the 28th.
