Document background
The Notice To Vacate Due To Renovations is a crucial document in Irish residential tenancy law, used when a landlord needs to terminate a tenancy to undertake substantial renovation or refurbishment works. This notice must be issued in compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and its amendments, particularly the 2019 amendments which strengthened tenant protections. The document must include specific details about the planned renovations, demonstrate their substantial nature, provide required notice periods, and include statutory declarations. It should also address the tenant's right of first refusal to return to the property post-renovation. The notice is only valid when accompanied by appropriate planning documentation or registration of works, and when the renovations are significant enough to require the property to be vacated.
