Dispute

Non-payment of Rent

Notice

Non-payment of rent (N4)

Landlord

C.L.

Tenant

N.H.

What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served a valid N4 notice, but the notice did not indicate if any rent arrears were owing.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed because the N4 notice served by the Landlord did not comply with the technical requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
