Document background
The Notice To Vacate Squatters is a critical legal instrument used in Ireland when unauthorized persons occupy private property without permission. This document is typically employed when property owners discover squatters in their property and need to initiate legal proceedings for their removal. The notice must comply with Irish property law, particularly the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994. It serves as the first formal step in the eviction process and must include specific elements such as property details, ownership proof, clear vacation demands, and compliance deadlines. The document is essential for establishing a legal record of the property owner's formal demand for possession and can be used as evidence in court if further legal action becomes necessary. Property owners often need to serve this notice before they can seek court orders or police assistance for removing unauthorized occupants.
