LANDLORD AND TENANT LAW AMENDMENT ACT (IRELAND) 1860 - SECT 20

Landlord may give notice to sub-tenant to pay rent to him.

20. Where any tenant subletting shall neglect to pay to his landlord the rent
payable in respect of the lands comprised in the lease, it shall be lawful for
the landlord, or his agent lawfully acting in that behalf, after and as often
as one gale of such rent shall have accrued due and remained unpaid for the
space of one month, to give notice in writing to the sub-tenant, requiring him
to pay to the landlord so much of the rent payable by such sub-tenant to the
tenant under whom he holds as may be sufficient to discharge the gale or gales
stated in such notice to be due from the tenant to the landlord, such notice
to be delivered to the sub-tenant, or left at his usual place of abode with
some member of his family above the age of sixteen years; and thereupon such
sub-tenant shall be liable to pay to the landlord all rent that may accrue due
after the receipt of such notice, or so much thereof as may be sufficient to
discharge such gale or gales; and the receipt of the landlord or his agent
shall be a full discharge to the sub-tenant against the tenant in respect of
all rent so paid; and the said landlord and his representatives shall be
entitled to all such rights and remedies for the enforcing payment of such
rent as the said tenant so subletting might have had.
