    Why? She's giving a month's notice as per the agreement. Is there anything legally compelling her to do more?

    This is government advice. Gardaí as of this moment have no extra powers and can only guide and advise. Read the news more closely. Harris and Dept of Justice have not yet signed off

    ah listen, don't be a bollox, keep it civil with no attitude! so many threads with bitchin going on this needn't be one of them.
    But your dead right in all your posts, there's nothing extra the housemate has to do nor can the guards do a damn thing about it, so what happens to the remaining tenant?
    i take it she cant be evicted?

    If shes is giving the appropriate notice and paying what shes is due re her contract what is she doing wrong ? Not up to her to advertise the room. Landlords problem to rent out her room.

    What is subletting?
    Subletting occurs when a tenant permits another party to lease the rental property that the tenant has leased from the landlord. The tenant then assumes the position of landlord (known as the head tenant) in relation to his or her subtenant. Subletting usually occurs because the tenant has signed a fixed-term lease and wants, for whatever reason, to get out of the lease before it expires. Subletting can only take place with the consent of the landlord.

    "Don't be a bollox," he says while advising others to keep it civil.

    I didn't say tenant, I said licensee. Totally different rights in law. Since I already posted the links to back this up, how about you post something to back up your position.

    Fair enough. You're right. I was wrong. Read it incorrectly. Apologies.

    A person in the scenario described would be a licensee, not a tenant.

    Such a licensee could apply to become a tenant after 6 months IIRC if they are not sharing with the homeowner.

    So what happens when the new person moves in? House isolation for both for two weeks or will each assume the other doesn't have it :D

    Same situation as sharing with anyone at the moment. Just because no-one in my house has shown symptoms yet, doesn't mean one of us can't pick it up after being to the supermarket or whatever.

    This situation depends whether the housemate is a licensee (ie: your sister holds the lease and sublets a room to the housemate) or co-signatory on the lease.

    If she's co-signatory on the lease, then she has obligations to continue paying the rent until the lease is finished.

    If she's a licensee, then she has no obligations (just as she would have to rights if the sister wanted to kick her out) and is free to leave whenever she wants and it's the sister's responsibility to find another person to sublet to.

    Currently in this situation myself as co-signatory. House mate wants to move at the end of the month so currently looking to fill the room. Extra stress in an already stressful time. I'm worried we won't fill it. I could use some advice.

    Our yearly lease actually ends at the end of April. Exactly when the housemate wants to move. Does that make a difference? It's a rolling lease. We have no clause in our lease about amount of time given to fill rooms. In the past, people have given lots of notice (sometimes up to 6 months) so we could find the right person so we've never had any hassle. What happens if we don't fill the room? Exiting housemate will not sign the new lease. Are they obliged to keep paying regardless?
