Notice Period Calculator
How much notice must a landlord or tenant give to end a tenancy in Ireland? Enter the dates to get the minimum notice period and the earliest date the tenancy can end, under current RTB rules.
Landlord notice periods
The minimum notice a landlord must give depends on how long the tenancy has lasted on the day the notice is served.
| Length of tenancy | Minimum notice |
|---|---|
| Less than 6 months | 90 days |
| 6 months to 1 year | 152 days |
| 1 to 7 years | 180 days |
| 7 to 8 years | 196 days |
| 8 years or more | 224 days |
Where the tenant is at fault, shorter periods apply: 28 days for rent arrears or another breach of obligations (only after a written warning notice has been served and ignored), and 7 days for serious anti-social behaviour.
Tenant notice periods
| Length of tenancy | Minimum notice |
|---|---|
| Less than 6 months | 28 days |
| 6 months to 1 year | 35 days |
| 1 to 2 years | 42 days |
| 2 to 4 years | 56 days |
| 4 to 8 years | 84 days |
| 8 years or more | 112 days |
The notice period is only one requirement
A notice of termination can be invalid even when the notice period is right. It must be in writing and signed, state the termination date and (for landlords) a valid ground, include a statement of the tenant's right to refer a dispute to the RTB, and a copy must reach the RTB within 7 days of service. Our guide to serving a valid termination notice covers every requirement, or you can generate a compliant notice with the correct period already built in.
