Do i have to let my landlord know im moving ?

Yes, you are required to give your landlord notice if you plan to move out, even if your lease is coming to an end. The amount of notice you need to give depends on how long you’ve been living in the property. Under Irish law, tenants must provide written notice, and the notice period is based on the duration of the tenancy. For example:

• Less than 6 months: 90 days’ notice
• 6 months to 1 year: 120 days’ notice
• 1–3 years: 180 days’ notice, and so on.

It’s important to follow the proper procedure, which includes giving notice in writing and ensuring it meets the legal requirements (e.g. it must be signed, dated, and include specific information). If you’re ending a fixed-term lease early, you may only do so under certain conditions (like a break clause or agreement with the landlord).

Always check the most recent guidance from the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) to ensure you’re following the correct process and notice periods.
