The notice period you must give tenants when selling your investment property in Ireland depends on how long the tenancy has been in place. According to RTB legislation, if you are seeking vacant possession before the sale, the required notice periods are as follows (as of 2025):
You must issue the notice in writing and follow the correct RTB format, ensuring it includes the reason for termination (i.e., intent to sell). If you intend to sell within 9 months, the tenant must also be given a copy of the sales advertisement within 90 days of the termination date.
Failing to follow proper procedures can result in delays, fines, or a voided notice. Your estate agent and solicitor can guide you through this process and ensure all legal timelines are correctly observed.
