Housing Assistance Payment

 

Housing Assistance Payment is a form of social housing support provided by local authorities to help individuals and families with the cost of renting a home from a private landlord. It allows eligible households to find suitable accommodation in the private rental market and have their rent paid directly to the landlord, while the tenant pays a weekly contribution to the local authority.

        3. Make sure the notice meets legal requirements.
        4. Send a copy of the notice to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) on the same day you send it to your tenant.

      Reasons For Ending A Tenancy


      • The tenant breached the obligations in their tenancy agreement. For example, by not paying their rent.

      • You plan to change the use of the property, for example to convert it into an office.

      • You plan to carry out substantial refurbishments to the property.

      • You or an immediate family member need to live in the property. This only applies to private landlords.

      • You plan to sell the property within 9 months.

      • The property is no longer suitable for the tenant's needs. For example, it is too small.

        Serving A Notice


        • Be in writing (not by email)

        • Be signed by the landlord or their authorised agent.

        • Include the date the notice is sent. This is the date the notice is posted or hand delivered.

        • Give the date the tenancy will end (and tell the tenant they have the full 24 hours on that day to leave the property).

        • Give the reason you are ending the tenancy (if tenancy is over 6 months).

        • Tell the tenant they have 28 days from the date of receipt of the notice to refer their case to the RTB if they believe the notice is not valid where there has been a breach of obligation by the tenant. New laws have increased this notice period to 90 days where there has been no breach of obligation by the tenant.

        • Be sent to the RTB on the same day it is sent to the tenant. Failure to do so makes the notice invalid.
