Tenant vacate notice

TENANT VACATE NOTICE

How Can a Lease or Residency be Ended?

The Residential Tenancies Act, 1997 is explicit about how a tenancy ends. It can only occur when one of the parties of the Tenancy Agreement gives notice to the other party.

If you want to vacate the property at the end of the Tenancy Agreement you must give written notice twenty eight (28) days prior to vacating.

If you want to vacate during the term of the Tenancy Agreement, you will be breaking the contract you have entered into and therefore are responsible for reimbursing the landlord for any loss incurred eg. rent until the property is again tenanted plus the landlord’s normal costs in re-letting. These are usually:

All advertising and marketing expenses incurred
Letting fee
A tenancy reference check.
