Finding out who owns the house

    Hi everyone. I am in a bit of a confusion here. I got a letter from my landlord yesterday that he wants his house for his cousin. But a few years ago I remember him telling me that he is not the owner of the house, his mother owns the house.

    I was wondering is there any way at all I can find out who owns the property that I am currently renting out?

    Try LandDirect.ie and get a copy of the folio for €5

    His cousin would be his mother’s niece or nephew so probably still a valid termination notice.

    But if it's now the landlords house, would a cousin come under family member?

    I don’t think it’s defined what family members are included.

    No harm in the OP getting the RTB involved but he should plan for a negative outcome.

    This is what I found last time I looked at the definition of 'family member' for the purposes of the residential tenancies act:
    (4) In paragraph 4 of the Table the reference to a member of the landlord's family is a reference to any spouse, child, stepchild, foster child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, step parent, parent-in-law, brother, sister, nephew or niece of the landlord or a person adopted by the landlord under the Adoption Acts 1952 to 1998.
