    I was told by PRTB that rent review is also put on hold until further notice....
    Has this been confirmed?

    Does anyone know if the 1 year review between increases will now date from when the increase comes into effect, or will it go back to the normal month that it was meant to come into effect originally?

    Hi There,

    I am on a 6 month fixed term lease which was due to end at the end of April. The owner of the house had made it clear it would only be the 6 months, and he planned on moving back in himself at the end of this time. Can someone explain to me what my rights are here? As he can't serve notice to me, I get an extra 3 months, and then the normal 28 days notice at the end of that period when he serves it?

    Just a bit confused about the details if anyone can shed any light. Thanks!

    The owner is stuck with you till the end of the emergency period. He will then have to serve a 28 day notice.

    You knew you had to leave at the end of April, you effectively got an extension due to Covid, leave at the end of the extension, the guy wants to move back in.

    This would appear to apply.

    From the RTB


    My tenant has only been living in my rental property for 5 months and I wanted to end the tenancy before it became a Part 4 tenancy. When the emergency period ends, will my tenant now have Part 4 rights?

    No, in such circumstances, the passage of time during the COVID-19 emergency period pauses the tenancy and the tenancy picks up again after the emergency period is over. If the tenant was 5 months into their tenancy at the start of the emergency period, they will remain so when the emergency period formally comes to an end.

    Im on the hunt for a nice bargain at the moment and made some more calls yesterday. One agent I talked to actually told me he would give me a 5 month lease which due to Covid-19 would actually be 5 months + whatever amount of time the covid thing takes, but that I would have to move out after that. HE would not entertain an extension beyond that. Sp estate agents are aware that they can get longer short term leases out of this.


    Fair enough I suppose if you were looking for a short term lease, but it doesnt suit me and by far the vast majority of the property owners / agents ive been in contact with are only offering short term leases, and they arent putting this in their adverts first.


    Anyway still looking.
