How much notice do I need to give to end my tenancy in Ireland?
For Docklands Living in Dublin, the amount of notice you must give depends on how long your tenancy has lasted.
Normal tenant notice periods
- Less than six months: 28 days.
- Six months to under one year: 35 days.
- One year to under two years: 42 days.
- Two years to under four years: 56 days.
- Four years to under eight years: 84 days.
- Eight years or longer: 112 days.
Irish law also provides shorter notice arrangements in defined circumstances, such as a serious safety risk or an unremedied landlord breach. A fixed-term agreement may have additional implications.
Making the notice valid
Your notice must be in writing, signed, dated & state the date the tenancy will end. We recommend checking the calculation before sending it.
If you are unsure how long you have lived in the property or whether an exception applies, contact us with the tenancy start date. We will explain the appropriate process.
