Amendment No. 68 amends section 78 of the 2004 Act, which prescribes a non-exhaustive list of matters that may be referred to the RTB for dispute resolution under Part 6 of the Act. It is a technical amendment to amend paragraph (f) of section 78(1) to reflect that the Part 4 security of tenure provisions do not apply to student-specific accommodation but that, in general, the Part 5 procedural requirements apply to tenancy terminations in that sector. Under amendment No. 53, section 66 of the Act has been modified to provide that the tenancy termination notice period for the student-specific accommodation sector must be at least 28 days.
