Document background
The 120 Day Notice To Vacate is a crucial document in Irish residential tenancy law, typically required for tenancies that have lasted between 4 and 7 years. This notice period was established under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and subsequent amendments to provide adequate time for tenants to find alternative accommodation. The document must be served in accordance with strict legal requirements and include specific statutory information to be valid. It's commonly used when a landlord needs to terminate a tenancy for legitimate reasons such as property sale, personal use, or significant refurbishment. The notice must clearly state the termination date, grounds for termination (if applicable), and include information about the tenant's rights and the dispute resolution services available through the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). Proper service of this notice is crucial as incorrect notices can be deemed invalid, potentially leading to significant delays in the termination process.
