Episode notes
Act Now To Avoid March 2026 Eviction Limits
- Plan ahead before March 1, 2026 because new rules will severely limit no-fault evictions, effectively locking tenants in for six years for landlords with four or more properties.
- Gavin notes small landlords (1–3 properties) retain certain eviction exceptions; owners are triggering notices now to exit before the cutoff.
Split Ownership To Avoid Large Landlord Rules
- Use ownership planning to avoid classification as a large landlord: split titles among family members to keep each holder under four properties.
- Gavin says people are already transferring properties between spouses to sidestep large-landlord rules.
Garden Units And Attic Conversions To Boost Supply
- Planning changes may allow 40 sqm garden-build units and attic conversions without full planning permission, expanding supply options.
- Gavin highlights this could create small studio/granny-flat rentals fetching maybe €1,000/month.
