Are tenancy agreements different in England and Ireland?

Yes. England & Ireland have different tenancy laws, so an agreement for Docklands Living in Dublin is not the same as one for our English developments.

In England

Our standard build-to-rent agreements are assured periodic tenancies. They run monthly without a fixed expiry date. A tenant can normally end the tenancy with two months’ written notice, or a shorter period where lawfully agreed. We can only seek possession using the relevant statutory grounds & process.

In Dublin

The Residential Tenancies Acts apply. An Irish tenancy can include agreed written terms, but rights to remain, terminate & challenge rent or deposit issues are governed by Irish law. The landlord must register the tenancy with the RTB.

• Both countries give residents a right to peaceful occupation.
• Landlords must meet relevant repair & safety duties.
• Rules on notice, rent reviews, deposits & disputes differ.
• A contract cannot remove statutory protections.

We will give you the agreement suited to your chosen apartment. Further guidance is available from GOV.UK & the RTB.
