Seven Ways a Landlord Can Move a Tenant (evict) out of a property under the RTB Legislation

In this episode of the Keep It Simple series, we break down the legal process of how and when a landlord can terminate a tenancy in Ireland. Understanding the rules around eviction is essential—whether you're a landlord, tenant, or property manager. Clare outlines the seven legal grounds under which a landlord may end a tenancy, including non-payment of rent, breach of lease terms, sale of the property, and substantial refurbishment. We also explain what documentation is required, how much notice must be given, and why a Notice of Termination must be properly served to be valid. Importantly, we clarify the legal obligation to send a copy of the Notice of Termination to the RTB on the same day it is served to the tenant—a critical step that, if missed, renders the notice invalid. We also touch on key legal safeguards in place for tenants, and how to challenge an unlawful notice through the RTB dispute resolution process. Whether you're managing property or renting one, this episode provides a clear overview of Ireland’s tenancy termination laws and what both landlords and tenants need to know to stay compliant and protected.
