Letting agent stalling rent review til very end lease = odd

worded

Been in a rented place almost two years. We asked for a downward rent review 30 days prior to the end of it and we are still waiting. We have been excellent tenants.

If the review is not to our liking can we just leave the day the lease expires or do we have to give notice beyond that?

All sounds a bit strange but from a common sense point of view the letting agent is biting off his nose to spite his face here....as negotiating rent prior to lease being up means that landlord or EA wont have to go through trouble of trying to get new tenants
anyway once lease comes to an end if you havent agreed new agreeable rent to both parties then no you dont have to give any notice and you can just move out on that date...bit crap really as it leaves you in limbo just remember its a renters market also remember to get your deposit back

I think they are just playing cool. I will contact them yet again to ask by email.

Say we dont know where we stand til the last week and need another month to find a place? Can we overstay the 2 years and give 30 days (and pay for that month)

I remember seeing something on the tenants rights laws ages back.
I think it over rules leases. Like for 2 years stay you have to give X notice and the agents Y.

not sure about the laws but you can get in touch with citizens advice
http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/housing/renting-a-home/tenants_rights_and_obligations
also the PRTB
http://www.prtb.ie/
or threshold
http://www.threshold.ie/
for threshold ring any office but dublin they never answer
the prtb are very good also either of these two should be able to steer you in the right direction
best of luck with your EA

Thanks, all will be fine provided they take a large chunk off the rent.
