    Myself and my girlfriend started renting in Feb 2006,we have decided we want out..we ONLY signed a 6 mth contract which by now is well over.When i rang the landlord she said we would have to give 28 days notice(pay another months rent) i think shes wrong as we are not legally binded after the 6 mths...would i be right?? after all it was her fault she did not follow up on anything after the 6 mths ANYONE????

    Any lease I've ever signed has had some kind of provision for the length of notice to give after the term of the lease is up. Does yours not?

    You might want to give the PRTB a buzz. The 28 days your landlord is talking about is a part IV tenancy under the residential tenancies act, but I seem to remember that a part IV tenancy only comes into effect at the end of the first 6 month period (I may be very wrong).

    If it is a part IV tenancy your landlord is correct.

    BECAUSE you are there over 6 months you are leagally obliged to give 35 days notcie as part of the PRTB (www.prb.ie) actually.
    It works both ways so it is fair. Had you wished to stay on and the landlord told you to get out tomorrow how would you feel?

    Anyway point is 35 days in notice needed (or forefit your deposit).
