Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Planning and Development Bill 2020: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Mr. Paul Lemass:
I think we are at cross purposes here. The intention of this legislation is that a tenant should be able to declare that they are at risk of having their lease terminated. If they make that declaration - it is not a dispute; it is just a declaration at that point - they must contact the landlord within the five-day time period and request that some arrangement is worked out. That is the five-day period to which I have referred. The arrangement can happen thereafter.
