Notes (for information only) | ||||||||
|
A. A person who proposes to claim a new tenancy (under Part II of the Act), compensation for disturbance or compensation for improvements should serve notice in this form of his intention so to claim (sections 20(1), (3), 56(1)). | ||||||||
|
B. Any claim mentioned in this notice may be made at any time up to three months after due notification made by the landlord (in Form No. 2 or, where appropriate, by notice to quit) to the claimant of the termination of the claimant's tenancy (sections 20 (2), (3), 56 (1)) although extension of time may be granted (section 83). | ||||||||
|
C. The notice should be served on each person against whom the claim is intended to be made (section 20(1)). Where the claim is for a new tenancy, that new tenancy (where the claimant is entitled thereto) must be granted not only by the landlord but by any superior landlord whose joined may be necessary (section 18). Section 84 provides for making necessary information available in such circumstances. | ||||||||
|
D. Particulars should be given sufficient to identify the premises. | ||||||||
|
E. State amount of rent, date of lease or tenancy, parties thereto and (if lease or tenancy has not terminated) tenure or length of term. | ||||||||
|
F. Compensation for disturbance (in lieu of a new tenancy) is payable by the landlord to a business tenant of three years' standing who would, but for section 17(2) of the Act, be entitled to that new tenancy (section 58). | ||||||||
|
G. Compensation for improvements (defined in section 45) made by a tenant to his tenement (defined in section 5) is payable by the landlord where the tenant quits because of the termination of his tenancy (section 46(1) (a)), subject to certain restrictions (sections 46(1)(b) and 54) and to claim within the time-limit (Note B). | ||||||||
|
H. Where the improvements made are those specified in an improvement notice under the Town Tenants (Ireland) Act, 1906, an improvement notice or improvement order under the Landlord and Tenant Act, 1931 or this Act, or an order of a sanitary authority or housing authority, particulars of the relevant notice or order will suffice, together with particulars of any relevant improvement certificate or sanitary improvement certificate. Alternatively the description may be given in a statement of works herein or by reference to such statement in an accompanying document. | ||||||||
|
J. A notice of intention to claim relief may be limited to a claim for compensation for improvements (section 56(1)). Where the notice indicates an intention to claim a new tenancy, it may include a claim in the alternative for compensation (section 20 (3)), that is, compensation for disturbance (section 58) or compensation for improvements (section 46). | ||||||||
