TERMINATION OF
FIXED TERM TENANCIES
UNDER TIIE RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 2004
SOURCE: PRTB

PART 4 TENANCY

Once a tenant has remained in occupation of a dwelling for a period of 6 months, he


or she acquires the benefit of a Part 4 tenancy under the Residential Tenancies Act
2004 (the "Act").

A Part 4 tenancy entitles the tenant to remain in occupation for a period of four years
in total,' unless a valid notice of termination is served on him or her. For further
details on Part 4 tenancies see a "Quick Guide to the Residential Tenancies Act", at
unov.prib.ie.

2 FIXED TERM TENANCIES

Landlords and tenants often enter into a tenancy for a fixed term period. For example
a landlord or tenant may agree that the tenancy will be for a period of two years.
Usually, the terms of a fixed term tenancy are contained in a lease agreement. A
written lease agreement is not necessary however, for a fixed term tenancy to exist, as
the Act provides that a fixed term tenancy may also be oral or implied.2

I. See, Section 28 of the Act.


2. See, Section 5 of the Act.

3 FIXED TERM TENANCIES AND PART 4

The existence of a fixed term tenancy does not preclude the operation of Part 4.3 Part
4 runs with a fixed term tenancy, so that the continuous occupatioh by a tenant under
a fixed term tenancy for a period of 6 months, means the tenant shall, as in normal
course, become entitled to the protections of a Part 4 tenancy. in cases of fixed term
tenancies however, the rights under Part 4 only apply to the extent that they benefit
the tenant over and above the rights afforded to him or her under the terms of the
fixed term tenancy.

4 TERMINATION

Part 4 Tenancies

A landlord may terminate a Part 4 tenancy, in accordance with the provisions of the
Act, where any of the circumstances set out in Section 34 of the Act arise. For
instance a landlord, may terminate a tenancy, in circumstances where he or she wants
to live in the dwelling concerned.4

A tenant can terminate a Part 4 tenancy at any time and without reason, provided lie
or she gives the requisite notice and complies with the provisions for termination of a
tenancy under the Act, which includes the service of a valid notice of termination.

6. EXPIRY OF THE FIXED TERM

If a tenant wishes to remain in occupation after the fixed term, the tenant must notify the
landlord of his or her intention, This must he done not later than one month before the expiry
of the fixed term tenancy nor any sooner than three months before it expires. If the tenant
fails to do so and the landlord has suffered damage as a result, the landlord may refer a
dispute to the Private Residential Tenancies Board.

Once a fixed term tenancy comes to an end, in circumstances where the tenant remains in
occupation and the landlord subsequently wishes to terminate the tenancy, the landlord can
rely on the provisions of Section 34 to terminate the tenancy, as the fixed term has come to
an end.
