From the press release -Have they said yet if the landlord has already served notice, or serves notice between now and 1st November is the termination will continue as normal ?
As a matter of interest, do you know if the minister advised of an explicit end date for the moratorium ? Thank you.Just heard the Minister on the radio.
If I understood him correctly, there will be no moratorium on issuing termination notices and notice periods can continue to run during the moratorium period.
However, "no fault" termination notices cannot take effect during the moratorium period to 31 March and will only take effect after the moratorium period ends on a sliding scale depending on the length of the tenancy.
I would be hopping mad if I issued a valid termination notice months ago and I now have to wait a further 6 months to get vacant possession of my property.
I wouldn't make that presumption.Presumably, serving notice in the next 2 weeks before the official period starts will allow sale from April 1st and potentially save people nearly 3 months of being locked out of a sale by the government intervention.
There isn't really any moratorium - it's a deferral of the termination of tenancies.As a matter of interest, do you know if the minister advised of an explicit end date for the moratorium ?
That won't make any difference - the termination of the tenancy will still be deferred.Resultantly, I would immediately serve extended notices (1 or 2 year notice periods) to existing tenants (abiding by the most recent RTB rules).
What's bizarre is that these people are more likely to have a lease with tenants less than 6 months and are particularly penalised - being last in the queue at a minimum of June 23 for vacation:Imagine you were due to come home from a foreign posting before Christmas and could no longer access your home that you rented out while you were away?
Thank you Sarenco.There isn't really any moratorium - it's a deferral of the termination of tenancies.

Thank you Sarenco.
Serving the long notice period terminations is not intended as a response to the forthcoming deferral, it would be to ensure a notice to vacate has been issued while it is still legal to do so, even if the notice period is 12-24 months out. It may be too knee-jerk, but one has to wonder what response the Minister for Housing is going to implement to stymie the flood of termination notices that will be effected in Mar-Jun 2023.
I do not follow the reasoning why this deferral of 6-8 months is deemed to have any positive impact. It may just result in an additional number of small BTL investors running for the door.... so in effect it is exacerbating the problem. Although my own long term plan was to remain a BTL investor long term, I am now glad to be getting out.
I have heard (anecdotal only) that some landlords were only letting for 6 months ie. grant a tenant a 6 month lease, evict at the end of the 6 months and grant a new lease to a new tenant again for 6 months then repeat. Perhaps they are trying to stop this. The 3 month notice on 6 month tenancies may have been introduced with the same idea in mindWhat's bizarre is that these people are more likely to have a lease with tenants less than 6 months and are particularly penalised - being last in the queue at a minimum of June 23 for vacation:
"Any notice of termination served during the winter emergency period in respect of tenancies of less than 6 months’ duration cannot specify a termination date that falls earlier than 18 June 2023."
Why the need to block these, are they worried that much about landlords who came in changing their minds?
What could possibly cause that!?
Yes you did hear right. The USI are demanding that full tenancy rights are extended to licensees. Can you imagine - you offer digs in your house to a student in the local university and they have full tenancy rights in your home and you can't evict them? Who in their right mind would offer a room to rent in future? Obviously no one in USI is studying economics!This is a shambles. Nobody will buy a BTL in this country again. Too much government interference. They will regret this when an avalanche of eviction notices land next week. Did I hear correctly that this ban extends to licensees/ room to rent ?
