Notices of Termination – Less than 6 months
arthur2022-09-28T16:25:20+00:00Tenancies Of Less Than 6 Months Duration And Required Notice Period. A matter of importance and which has been the subject of confusion for many landlords is the notice period required for short term lettings of less than 6 months. Many landlords have mistakenly thought that a tenancy of up to 6 months does not in fact require any significant notice period given that the tenant does not obtain security of tenure. If a tenancy was created after 10 June 2022, then same is a tenancy of unlimited duration. This means if a tenant has rented somewhere for 6 months [...]

arthur2022-04-13T11:07:20+00:00The Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Act 2021 (the 2021 Amendment Act) was signed into law on 11 December 2021. An interesting reform brought about by the Act is that it provides for tenancies of unlimited duration. All new tenancies created on or after 11 June 2022 will become tenancies of unlimited duration once the tenancy has lasted more than six months and no notice of termination has been validly served on the tenant. This contrasts with the Part 4 tenancy which was created under previous legislation. A ‘Part 4 tenancy’ comes into existence after a residential tenancy has run for a period [...]

arthur2022-01-24T15:54:32+00:00This article will highlight some of the main differences between the rights afforded to couples in a civil partnership and couples who are married. Particular attention will be given to the report published by Marriage Equality Ireland entitled ‘Missing Pieces’ , which audited the main differences between the rights and responsibilities gained from civil partnership compared to the rights and responsibilities gained through civil marriage in Ireland.

Alternative Dispute Resolution & The Irish Family
arthur2022-01-24T15:53:26+00:00Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services such as mediation, collaborative law and conciliation have consistently been found to be more suitable for certain types of family law issues than our current court system. It has been argued that “the adversarial nature of proceedings does little to resolve conflict in families’ lives but rather compounds and increases that conflict in many cases”. ADR processes on the other hand, give disputants “full control over the outcome of the process which is not always possible in a public, formal and adversarial justice system”. It has been asserted that ADR could greatly alleviate the problems concerning [...]

arthur2022-01-24T15:51:53+00:00The 2011 census found that there were 143,600 cohabiting coupes in Ireland. This growing number of couples who chose to live together outside of marriage provided the impetus for reform. Cohabitation in Ireland is governed under the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010 it established a presumptive scheme (with the option to 'opt out') of unmarried unregistered cohabitants whether same or opposite sex. Prior to the 2010 Act cohabitants had relatively zero legal recognition. A qualified cohabitant is defined as an adult who was living with the other adult as a couple for a period of [...]
