Section 65 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 – What this Chapter does
Residential Tenancies Act 2004 (RTA 2004) · PART 5 – Tenancy Terminations — Notice Periods and other Procedural Requirements › Chapter 3 – Period of notice to be given
Revised Act prepared by the Law Reform Commission, updated to 1 March 2026. Amendments made after that date are not included.
(1)This Chapter states the period of notice to be given by a notice of termination.
(2)Nothing in this Chapter is to be read as requiring the period of notice concerned to be actually mentioned in the notice of termination; compliance with section 62(1)(f) (which relates to the termination date) suffices for the purposes of communicating the length of notice being given.
(3)Subject to subsection (4), a greater period of notice than that required by this Chapter may be given if the landlord or tenant (as appropriate) so chooses.
(4)If the duration of the tenancy concerned is less than 6 months, a period of notice of more than 90 days may not be given in respect of it.
