Eviction Rules

    Hi there,

    I am looking to understand how difficult it is if you are letting a room in a house you own in 2 scenarios.

    1. You are living in the residence and letting a room.

    2. You aren't living there and let both rooms out.

    How much notice do you need to give and is there any benefits/downsides to each case?

    Thanks

    Scenario 1. Pretty much notice as they are just a lodger.

    You make the rules, you don't have to give them a lease, you can evict them with a weeks notice if you don't like them, and the rent a room allowance is capped at €14k.

    You have to give a valid termination reason, you have to give valid notice (can be a few months). Tenant may stop paying you when you give the eviction notice, and you may never see that money again. You may also have to goto court to have them removed after the date when they said that they would move has passed. You have to give a large percentage of the rent to the taxman, and there's probably a whole lot that I haven't gone into.

    A note, eviction is not the same as terminating a tenancy/agreement.

    Are you trying to understand the legal grounds for terminating a lease?

    Just looking to understand the difference between options one and two if you choose to terminate the stay.

    Option 2 is basically the same as renting the whole house out, no legal difference.
