" Dia daoibh. I am an Irish American considering working in Dublin, and I recently heard that landlords have a practice of kicking renters out at a moment''s notice so that they can then raise the rent and bring in new renters at a higher rate. But someone else told me that renters enjoy relative protection in Ireland. Which is true? Go raibh maith agaibh. Paul Carr "

" Hi, Paul, I don''t know if anyone answered your question, but perhaps I can. I rent a townhouse in Letterkenny. The landlord''s rep gave me a rent book, which is a little green book that sets forth the particulars, and acts as a record of rental payment. Rent books are required under the ''Housing (Rent Books) Regulations, 1993'' The regs are spelled out in the book. Paragraph 3: ''Notice to terminate a tenancy (notice to quit or surrender) must be in writing and be served not less than four weeks before the date on which it is to take effect.'' It also says, in the front, ''Failure to comply with the Regulations is an offence and may result in prosecution by the local authority.'' Joe Greenleaf jgreenleaf@dol. "
