Informing landlord of baby

    We're due a baby a few weeks before our twelve month lease is up in January. We're planning on staying in the house after the baby is born.

    Just wondering whether there's any requirement to inform the landlord of the baby being born? Or is there any reason we should/shouldn't inform them?

    The landlord lives abroad, and the house is let through an agent. We have no regular contact with either the agency or the landlord.

    Thanks!

    It may or may not be a clause in your lease agreement but under tenant's obligations in the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, a tenant is required to advise the landlord (or his agent) from time to time of persons residing at the property.
    (n) notify in writing the landlord of the identity of each person
    (other than a multiple tenant) who, for the time being,
    resides ordinarily in the dwelling.

    This also allows the landlord to assess if there is likely to be more wear and tear in the property.
