Shared house eviction notice and not all moving out together?

If you are all on the same lease, then you would all remain jointly liable for the rent until the last person moves out.

The landlord may agree to release you earlier, but they do not have to.

No, that’s the rule where the LL has given notice. On the basis that it’s not reasonable to expect tenants to find somewhere from exactly the date of their eviction or else pay for two places concurrently.

Ok, show me the legislation that says that then? Or even an RTB outcome, although I wouldnt put much stock in what they say.

Usually, joint tenancys are paid for by all, so if one or however many leave, the full rent is due up till the last day by whoever/how ever many reside there, even if that is one person left. Ive never heard anything about refunding in the legislation, because if the landlord/agent gave notice up till a certain date, the rent is due up until then, if a person decides to leave before that Id say it is on their own bat and there is no obligation to refund anyone by the landlord. It may be a reasonable and nice thing to do, but never heard any laws about it, there may even be an agreement between tenants if people leave early.

Becuase it does not exist, you (and another poster) are claiming this is the case and it is bad advice.

Another poster states that it seems unfair one person staying should have to cover the entire rent if everyone else leaves, but this is also the case usually, that everyone is severally liable to pay the full rent, not just what they think is their share, just because the other tenants or co-occupants have left.You made the claim it was the situation, so, back it up please. Now you say, "it is your understanding".

This is a huge part of the problem with letting in Ireland, 1. the laws are a total screw up, to cover the withdrawal of the provision of housing by the state and transferring that to the private sector, 2. You have quite poor (slow) and usually one sided legal dealing with problems, 3. The above (are some of the reasons that) ncourages private owners to leave the sector, which worsens the situation.

IMO there are good landlords and tenants, but picking and choosing what rules you will follow is easier for a tenant and any tenant who doesnt meet their obligation to pay is undermining that service being provided, because it discourages investors entering the market to provide the same service, thereby reducing competition and availability of house to rent, the current set up encourages bad landlords and tenants, but more so the latter. In the greater scheme of things, the above situation is low down on the scale of problems, but it is just one example of why housing has been fcuked up for renting (as it also has for buying and selling) in this country by bad politicians, likely self serving and poor legislation.

I have relevant RTB cases linked in some of my previous posts, but it's impossible to find it on the new boards... maybe someone else will have more luck.

I commend you on finding anything in boards, I cant.

Anyway, I had a quick look over the first report, that was where the landlord withheld the deposit, at no point does it appear to say the landlord gave notice and the tenant left before the tenancy was due to end and the landlord refunded any unused portion of the tenacy. It does state the landlord gave invalid notice (it even says the refund was for x amount and why)

"The Tenant is entitled to a refund of the rent prepaid on her behalf less the period she was in occupation of the dwelling"

So the tenant had to pay for when she was in occupation, she was refunded for other reasons, appears to be her deposit retained and for prepaid rent.

Whats worse about that example is it appears that the tenant did appalling damage or through deglect allowed the property to deteriorate into a poor condition, which looks like willful neglect (overflowing bath like, wtf?!) if not outright vandalism, and the landlord seems to have been woefully disorganized and unprepared for dealing with a tenant and the RTB.
