Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
100. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government if new laws relating to landlords and notice to quit will be retrospective and include those on eviction orders. [1177/19]
View answerThe Residential Tenancies (Amendment)(No. 2) Bill 2018 was published on 19 December 2018.
Section 7(1)(c) of the Bill amends Table 1 to section 66 of the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2016 to extend the notice periods that a landlord provides in serving a notice of tenancy termination to any tenant who has occupied a dwelling for more than 6 months and less than 5 years. Section 7(2) of the Bill provides that the new notice periods will apply to any period of notice to be given in a notice of termination served by a landlord on a tenant on or after the date of commencement of section 7(1); accordingly, the provision will not apply to notices served before that date.
