    If you're not sharing with the landlord, then yes 56 days would be the requirement.

    You are automatically on a part 4 tenancy after your lease expires (well after 6 months into your lease technically). Part 4 tenancy has set notice periods depending on how long you are in the house.

    You can find most of the information here http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/renting_a_home/types_of_tenancy.html

    Notice is not a requirement of a lease but a requirement of tenancy.

    As you have been in the house more than 2 years you owe the landlord 56 days notice (8 weeks).

    If you had a fixed term lease then you would not be able to give notice at all (unless there was a break clause) until the fixed term was over.


    To sum up, yes you need to give 56 days notice.
