Notice from landlord. How long?

Running Bing

Simple question(I think:) ). Legally how much notice must a landlord give a tennant before they want them out of the house?. Considering no misconduct and good tennants. Thanks.

It depends on how long you have been there - take a look at oasis.gov.ie/housing/renting_a_flat_or_house/if_your_landlord_wants_you_to_leave
Which provides a summary of the notice perods

Table 1 of s. 66 of the Residential Tennancies Act 2004
http://www.oireachtas.ie/documents/bills28/acts/2004/a2704.pdf (page 50 of the pdf)

28 days if there for less then 6 months
35 days for between 6 months and a year

and so on. The act provides the exact procedure for termination. It doesn't apply to s. 50 student accomodation, and there are other exceptions. Your lease could provide a longer notice period which you could avail of.

Remember though that Part 4 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2004 may be in effect, i.e. 'a Part 4 tenancy'.

While there are exclusions (e.g. living in same property as landlord) it basically gives security of tenure to those renting for over 6 months. The tenant can only then be removed for a certain number of reasons during the next 3 and a half years (e.g. not paying rent, anti-social behaviour).

I've noticed that 4 years is commonly mentioned. Do your tenancy rights change after 4 years?

They essentially re-start after 4 years.
