Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Smyth:

It is not. The tenant contacts the local authority and informs them that they have 90 days from the date on the notice of termination and may be in danger of becoming homeless. The local authority will make a bid and if that is not considered by the landlord, they continue to bid on day 91 and subsequent days.
