NOTE: RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 2004
The Residential Tenancies Act 2004 was commenced on the 1st September 2004. Subject to exceptions, the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 applies to every dwelling that is the subject of a tenancy. Among the exceptions to the Act, section 3 excludes a dwelling that is used wholly or partly for the purpose of carrying on a business, formerly rent controlled and long occupation lease tenancies and holiday lettings. Section 100 of the Housing (Miscellaneous) Provisions Act 2009 amends section 3 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 to further exclude tenancies for a term longer than 35 years from the provisions of the Act.
Section 192 of the Act abolishes, 5 years after the commencement of Part 4 of the Act, the entitlement to apply, for the first time for a long occupation lease under the Landlord and Tenant (Amendment) Act 1980, except where the tenant has served notice on the landlord of his/her intention to claim that lease under section 20 of the 1980 Act.
Section 191 of the Act amends section 17(1)(a) and section 85 of the 1980 Act to permit a tenant to renounce his/her right to a long occupation equity lease under section 13(1)(b) of that Act. These sections are further amended by Part 4 of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2008.
Part 4 of the Act provides for security of tenure on the basis of four-year cycles whereby tenancies are deemed terminated at the end of each four-year period and a new tenancy will come into being, assuming that the dwelling continues to be let to the same person(s). During the first six months of each tenancy, the landlord may terminate without giving a reason. During the remaining 3.5 years, termination is only possible where one of the grounds in section 34 of the Act applies. Subject to any fixed term agreement, the tenant will be free to terminate at any time.
Part 5 of the Act specifies the procedures to be followed in terminating a valid tenancy. Termination must be by way of a termination notice regardless of the reason for termination. It provides for gradated notice periods that are linked to the duration of the tenancy (see the tables to section 66, Table 1 applies to landlords and Table 2 applies to tenants).
Part 6 of the Act provides for a mechanism for the resolution of disputes between landlords and tenants of dwellings to which the Act applies. The mechanism is the Private Residential Tenancies Board established by Part 8 of the Act. Section 100(4) of the Housing (Miscellaneous) Provisions Act 2009 removes the requirement of a tenant’s signature on the prescribed form for registration under the Act.
