Document background
The Notice To Vacate Non Payment Of Rent is a crucial legal document used in Irish residential tenancy law when a tenant has fallen into rent arrears. This notice must be issued in strict compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and subsequent amendments, including specific provisions introduced by recent legislation. The document is typically used after attempts to resolve rent payment issues have been unsuccessful and serves as a formal notification of the landlord's intention to terminate the tenancy. It must include specific details such as the amount of rent owed, the notice period (which varies depending on the length of tenancy and circumstances), and the final date for vacation of the property. The notice must be properly served to the tenant and may need to be registered with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). Given the significant legal implications and the strict procedural requirements under Irish law, this document often forms part of a broader legal process and may be subject to RTB dispute resolution procedures.
