There are no separate Galway eviction rules: the Residential Tenancies Act applies nationally. A landlord must generally serve a written Notice of Termination, give the correct notice period based on how long the tenancy has lasted, and state the legal reason where one is required. Notice periods currently range from 28 days for a tenancy of less than six months to 224 days for a tenancy lasting more than eight years. The landlord must also send a copy of the notice to the RTB on the same day. Check the RTB’s current guidance, as validity depends on the tenancy’s facts.
