What rights do tenants have during the eviction process in Ireland?

A RentWise Team Answered by

A tenant is generally entitled to receive a valid written Notice of Termination, with the correct notice period and reason where required, rather than being forced out immediately. A landlord cannot lawfully use threats, remove belongings, change the locks or cut off essential services to make a tenant leave. Until the tenancy legally ends, the tenant should continue paying rent and complying with the tenancy agreement, unless advised otherwise. If you believe the notice or eviction process is unlawful, contact the RTB or Threshold promptly; the outcome of any dispute depends on the individual facts.
