Residential Tenancies Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-22
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I thank the Deputy for tabling this amendment but, unfortunately, I cannot accept it. The Residential Tenancies Acts do not apply to licensed arrangements apart from in the student-specific accommodation sector which I, Deputy Ó Broin and others worked on in the last Dáil. The rent-a-room lodgings in private dwellings are not covered by the Acts or this Bill. Tenancies in dwellings where the landlord lives are not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act. The Bill proposes to modify temporarily the operation of certain provisions of the Residential Tenancies Acts relating to tenancy terminations in the context of a global pandemic. I cannot accept the amendment.
