It is also a prime example of how we view loopholes that can be taken advantage of ,I would be on the side of the LL ,Find a loophole in the tax system to pay less tax good ,telling someone of there statutory rights bad ,This discussion is a prime example why landlords are fleeing the rental sector and also resolves the mystery of why the numbers of properties being made available to renters is continuously shrinking.
What goes around comes around.
RTB data shows a contraction of the number of private residential tenancies from 325,372 in 2015 to 313,000 tenancies in 2017.This discussion is a prime example why landlords are fleeing the rental sector and also resolves the mystery of why the numbers of properties being made available to renters is continuously shrinking.

But that's hardly the OP's fault
You have gotten on well with the landlord for 2 years. He has issued you with a notice to end the tenancy. Fair enough this should have been 56 days notice and not 28 days, that was a mistake by the landlord. But what exactly are you hoping to gain from going down the route of the RTB?
You are annoyed that your tenancy is ending, fair enough, but its the landlords property and he/she can do with it as they want. .
My sentiments exactly @Bronte.They were on friendly terms and the least the landlord could have done is spoken to the tenant. Not issue them with a scary notice without warning. And this is not a minor mistake. There is a big difference between one month and nearly two. Especially given the market. And it's the landlords obligation to issue a correct notice, correct time period and comply with the rules as regards relations.
And you're way wrong there suggesting the property is something the owner can do whatever they want with. That's not the law as tenants have rights. And rightly so.

Hi thank you so much for the advice,I really appreciate it.Its just time im trying to get now I've no interest in anything else..
It's not really though is it unless I have missed headlines about 'Landlords unable to evict renters on short notice to move in some sort of family member'. There are plenty of other reasons why landlords are fleeing the market but this isn't one. The landlord is expected to give proper notice. The renter is expected to leave when due to and leave the property as they found it. I don't think it is unreasonable for either side to insist on the other party fulfilling their obligations.
Yes, The LL should have gone about this saga in a much better way, He didnt, and as so, the LL will be / or could be severely punished. Not speaking to the tenant is not a crime either, again, it would have been the right thing to do, but he/they didnt..
The punishment for this is way out of kilter for what can happen.
Its hard to argue that the increasing burden of obligations that didn't exist a few years ago, together with the increasingly legalistic processes that surround them, aren't having an effect on availability though.
The basic laws of economics must kick in some time.
If it's time you are interested in, hold off on lodging with the RTB until closer to the end of the 28 days. If you lodge now you will lose a few weeks that you might have found helpful once you start looking for a new place.
Hardly severely punished is he? He is not going to jail. There is nothing stopping the landlord from issuing proper notice now even if the OP goes to the RTB.
You can certainly take the view that the legislation does not strike an appropriate balance between the legitimate property rights of landlords and the objective that tenants should have reasonable security of tenure.The punishment for this is way out of kilter for what can happen.
In that case you will no doubt be delighted to hear that the Social Democrats (apparently with the support of FF) are proposing that notice periods for terminating tenancies should be further extended…

100% correct.I can sell it, rent it, leave it empty, store my golf clubs in it.
