It covers repairs and access for inspection, landlord duties for gas safety checks, and the circumstances under which the property can be assessed for fitness for human habitation. It details the tenant’s rights to receipts for cash payments, the required notice to end a tenancy, and restrictions on illegal eviction or harassment. It also outlines eviction process rules, assistance options for rent and rates, and where to seek further independent advice.","LANDLORD’S NOTICE RELATING TO THE GRANTING OF A PRIVATE TENANCY\nThis Notice must be given to the tenant free of charge and within 28 days of the granting of the tenancy.\nNOTES\nGeneral\nYour tenancy is not a protected or statutory tenancy within the meaning of the Rent (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 as amended by Article 56 of the Private Tenancies (NI) Order 2006. You have the protection of the legal rights described below. However, other terms and conditions of your tenancy are a matter for you and your landlord.\nRepairs\nYour landlord is obliged to keep in repair all gas fittings, flues and installations. Your landlord must also provide you with a copy of the required safety checks in relation to gas appliances and flues. In some circumstances, your landlord may also display a copy of any safety certificate prominently in the property. Responsibility for other repairs is determined by your tenancy agreement. You can get help from the environmental health department of your local council if repairs are not carried out. See Appendix 1 (below) for more information.\nAccess for repairs\nBy law, you must let your landlord (or their representatives or contractors) have reasonable access to the property to carry out repairs or an inspection. Your landlord should give you reasonable notice before this happens.\nFitness for human habitation\nYour landlord is responsible for ensuring your property is safe. If:\n·\tYour property was built before 1945, and\n·\tYour tenancy began on or after 2007, and\n·\tThe property is not a prescribed dwelling-house, and\n·\tIt has no current certificate of fitness then, you can ask your local council to inspect it to ensure it is fit for human habitation.\nWhere a rented property does not meet the fitness standard, it is subject to rent control through the Rent Officer for Northern Ireland.\nReceipts\nAll private tenants have a legal right to a receipt for any cash payment in relation to their tenancy. The receipt should detail:\n·\tThe amount paid,\n·\tThe date it was paid,\n·\tWhat the payment was for,\n·\tIf an amount remains outstanding, the amount, or\n·\tIf payment was made in full, that no amount remains outstanding.\nYou should get a receipt when you make the payment or as soon as reasonably possible afterwards. Your local council has powers to take legal action when this does not happen.\nNotice to Quit\nTo end a tenancy a written ‘Notice to Quit’ must be given by the landlord or you (the tenant), to the other party, except in the case of a fixed term tenancy, where it ends as agreed. The following tables show the minimum period of notice your landlord must give you, and you must give your landlord, depending on the length of the tenancy.\nMinimum period of notice a landlord must give a tenant\nMinimum period of notice a tenant must give a landlord\nIllegal eviction and harassment\nYour landlord, or anyone acting on their behalf, is not allowed to harass you or your household to try to make you leave or illegally evict you. This could include:\n·\tEntering your home without permission, unless in an emergency\n·\tRemoving your belongings\n·\tCutting off essential services, such as water or electricity.\nYour local council has powers to take legal action if this happens.\nLegal process for eviction\nYou cannot be evicted from your property until your landlord follows the correct legal process and gets a possession order from the Court. However, you may be liable for legal costs incurred if a possession order is issued.\nHelp with paying rent and rates\nYou are entitled to apply for help with paying your rent and rates.\n·\tYou may be able to get help with your housing costs through Universal Credit. Universal Credit is a social security benefit paid by the Department for Communities. You can make a claim online (universal-credit.service.gov.uk).\n·\tIf you are having difficulty with paying your rent, you may be able to get a Discretionary Housing Payment.
