| Renting Commercial Property |
| |
| Whether you are a prospective landlord or tenant, you will need sound advice on the provisions of both short term agreements and long full repair and insure (FRI) leases.
In the absence of such advice, both landlord and tenant run the risk of binding themselves into onerous obligations with resultant financial loss.
You will be advised on all relevant statutory law and its effects from a commercial point of view. |

| Renting Residential Property |
| |
| | Whether you are a prospective Landlord or Tenant, we shall be on to hand to assist and advise you in every possible way including the preparation of Leases and the various rights and obligations of both parties. | | | | With the introduction of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, the renting of residential property has been regulated as never before. We can advise you on the obligations imposed and the rights and redress provided for. | | | | The Private Residential Tenancies Board will oversee the implementation of the Act. All Landlords must register with this Board or face fines. |
|
|
| |
| The Act specifies that during the first six months of the tenancy, the Landlord can terminate the tenancy without giving any reason. After that, and until the end of the fourth year of the Tenancy, he can only terminate for a limited number of reasons which must be notified in writing. |
| |
| |
At the end of the four-year period a new tenancy comes into force but during the first six-months the Landlord once again has the right to issue a termination notice without citing a specific reason.
The Rent for the property is also controlled in that it cannot exceed the open market rent for a similar property and can only be reviewed once every twelve months with four weeks notice to be given for the proposed rent review. The matter can be referred to the Private Residential Tenancies Board for a decision.
A dispute about any issue relating to a tenancy may be taken to the Board and the Board can award costs together with damages which can be enforced in the Circuit Court
Should you require advice or assistance in relation to your rights and obligations either as a Landlord or Tenant, please do not hesitate to contact us.
