Can my landlord evict me in Borris-in-Ossory?
Under the 2026 Tenancy of Minimum Duration (TMD) rules, your tenancy in Borris-in-Ossory has a minimum duration of 6 years. Your landlord cannot simply decide to end your tenancy — they need a valid legal reason.
Valid reasons include: selling the property, needing it for a family member, substantial renovation requiring vacant possession, or a serious breach by the tenant. If your landlord tries to evict you without one of these grounds, it may be an illegal eviction.
