House share situation during Covid 19

    Hi all

    I am looking for some advice as I’m sure there may be others in this situation at the moment. My boyfriend shares a house in Dublin with 3 others and the 3 have decided to move back down the country as they are working remotely. My boyfriend is unable to pay the full rent on his own as it is over 3K a month. We would like to relocate and move in together as he has nowhere else to go.

    I also share a house with two others however we have no lease signed as our landlord never provided us with one. She is also not registered with the PRTB. I want to move out but I’m concerned that if I do my housemates won’t want another person moving in given the current situation. If that’s the case can my landlord still expect the full rent for the house even if I move out? I’m keen not to have to keep paying rent when I’m not living there but don’t want to leave my housemates in a situation where they have to foot the bill.

    As I have no lease am I entitled legally to just go? Any advice would be appreciated.

    A written lease is not a legal requirement. Your obligations are laid out in the RTA, you can assign your lease to someone else, but if your flat mates prevent you doing this, they will have to pay your portion of the rent or the LL could get someone to replace you, which they might be even less enthusiastic about,

    And yes, the LL will want to receive full rent.
