Residential Tenancies and Valuation Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-31
============================================================

Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

I apologise if there has been any misunderstanding but if one does not avail of the declaration, one can still continue to accrue rights under Part 4. I want to be very clear on that. Those who seek the declaration will be unable to accrue additional rights if they are not meeting their obligations. That is a different section. We have to finely balance rights with regard to those who avail of the declaration. The case of those who do not avail of a declaration is totally different. They will continue to accrue rights under Part 4.
