Legislative amendments to extend the required termination notice period that tenants must receive (where there has been no breach of tenant obligations) have been passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas. The amendments were made to the Regulation of Providers of Building Works and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022 which will now be sent to the President for early signature.
The proposed termination notice periods to be given by landlords for no-fault evictions (i.e. where there is no breach of tenant obligations) will change as follows:
Duration of Tenancy Previous Notice Period New Notice Period
Less than 6 months 28 days 90 days
Not less than 6 months
but less than one year 90 days 152 days
Not less than one year
but less than 7 years 120 days 180 day
Not less than 7 years
but less than 8 years 196 days 196 days
Not less than 8 years 224 days 224 days
