FAQs on new legislation published

Doesn't tell us much more than we know already, but astonishingly a landlord with one property which has four tenants on separate tenancies is now a large landlord

It also doesn't deal with what happens to the status of the tenancies if a landlord moves category or a property is sold with a tenant in situ to a different category of landlord.

It also does not tell us what happens post March where you have a number of tenants coming and going over the six year period. How do you work out when the six year period begins and ends.

crazy really its an admission that the introduction and subsequent expansion of RPZ was insane....the destructiveness of rent controls to the aggregate health of your rental/housing market (price/quality/quantity/availability) is pretty much settled science now.....to deny it makes you the functional equivalent of a flat earther.....what FF/FG cant bring themselves to admit is the original sin of introducing it at all then expanding it for political expediency.....holding up their hands saying mea culpa for our 2016 error was the right thing to do........now we have an over-engineered labyrinth rent regulation system designed to try to get supply going again inside a rent controlled market......its complex and confusing because what's being attempted by this Irish government is simuntoulsy is attempting to put its foot on the supply accelerator while simoustanly mashing its other foot on the breaks (via rental controls). If you did that to your car you'd have loud sounds and smoke coming out everywhere and the car would blow up. Thats most likely where we're headed!
 
I wonder will there a provision for existing tenants (under current rules) to allow the landlord reset the rent to market levels in March to give them the 6 year security of tenure. Or does the dance of sending a termination letter etc etc have to go out.
 
I believe anyone who is not handing out notice to their tenants right now must love pain. This just gets worse and worse each time. Now they are in the process of locking the door so you cant ever leave. Time to get put before the door is permanently locked.

So my understanding is that the new rules only apply to new tenancies starting from March 26th next year.
From what I’ve read, as a landlord with only one property that has a tenancy that began in 2012, post March 26th next year, this tenancy will still be subject to eviction under the current rules.
Unless there’s been an update I’ve missed, that’s how I interpret it. Correct?

No looks correct. Anything before March 2026 is subject to old rules so you would need to wait until the tenant leaves to up the rent more than 2% etc. As a tenant you would wonder are you better off hiking up the rent for increased security (6 years) or run the risk on getting an eviction notice at any time as the landlord wishes to sell (under old rules).
