Have your say: Have you been issued with a notice to quit since lifting of eviction ban?

We would like to hear from tenants and landlords about what they intend to do since the moratorium on evictions ended

The eviction ban was officially lifted on Saturday, and Ministers have insisted that if the ban was not ended it would have had worse long-term effects than continuing it.

The Government has indicated that there are measures being introduced to mitigate the effects of the ending of the ban – such as the tenant purchase scheme which would require a landlord to offer a property for purchase to the tenant first. Minister for Finance Michael McGrath also said they were bringing forth a number of measures to encourage landlords to stay in the rental sector including a “taxation element” in the next budget.

Housing and homelessness campaigners and Opposition politicians have heavily criticised the decision not to extend the ban.

Are you a renter fearful about your position now or have you been served with a notice to quit? Are you a landlord who has welcomed the decision to lift the ban as you need to sell your property?
