The 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.
