Residential Tenancies Bill 2003: Second Stage.
12:00 pm
Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)
The Minister of State must inform the public of the good work he is doing. The notice to quit provision should be more flexible. I recall one case of a woman with two children having to leave the family home. She moved into private accommodation and placed her children in the local school. However, as the landlord needed the house back for family reasons, the woman was given notice to quit, forcing her to change her children's school and environment. I ask the Minister of State to incorporate a more sensitive side to the landlord tenant relationship.
