Query
I served a notice of termination on my tenant because I am selling the property. The law around the sector is too difficult for me to understand. The tenant has 3 months left of the termination. I received a renewal notice for registration from the RTB. Do I need to renew the tenancy with the RTB? If the tenant does not leave on their due date, will I need to re-register to avail of the dispute resolution service?

Response

Assuming a valid registration of the tenancy was in place prior to a valid notice of termination being served, there is no requirement to re-register. The tenancy has been terminated. In this situation you would be able to instigate a dispute for overholding as the overholding is based on the valid registration that was previously in place.
