[Wanted] Need Short-term rental

    Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

    I am living in an apartment for the last three years. Pay my rent in full and on time always. My landlord just informed me that they want us out of the apt on the 1st week of June. I have a contact until July and I am sure that there is nothing in it about giving either us of the landlord any rights to give a 2 month notice period during the tenancy period. I really dont weant to get into a war with my landlords...

    My wife is due to give birth any day now so this is just awful timing!!!!
    I can't even tell her this until the baby is born as she has enough on her plate as it is. Does anyone have any ideas? Just need a place until the fall as we had planned to move then. Maybe some student accommodation could be empty over the summer period? Any ideas or suggestions would help. Many thanks!!!

    Did landlord tell you why they wanted you out. Are they selling? Otherwise it can be difficult to evict you. Contact PRTB.

    3.5 months seems reasonable.

    The rest of March.
    All of April.
    All of May.
    All of June.

    Something I'm missing?

    Do the values given by threshold apply when a lease is present till June? If so, 2.5 months is more than is needed (unfortunately).

    I am going to check with Threshold but I have a signed agreement until End of July. Surely that protects me once there is no clause?

    It should, but check with Threshold.

    What if you explain your situation to the landlord? Is there a risk they are evicting you because of the baby? That would be illegal (i wouldn't discuss that idea with the other half either).

    Thanks so much Victor. I will go over this with a fine tooth comb :)
    We planned to move away anyway in the wall cos of the huge childcare costs in Dublin. I dont think we can afford to go in June so I need someplace to live for the Summer months.
