Document background
The Notice of Quit For Nonpayment Of Rent is a critical document in Irish property law, used when a tenant has fallen into rent arrears and the landlord wishes to terminate the tenancy. It must be drafted in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and its amendments, which specify mandatory notice periods and content requirements. This document is typically used after attempts to resolve rent payment issues have failed and formal action becomes necessary. It must include specific details such as the amount of rent owed, payment history, clear notice periods, and the final date for either payment or vacancy. The notice forms part of the evidence required if the matter proceeds to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) for dispute resolution, making it essential that it contains all legally required information and is served properly.
