Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment (Ireland) Act 1860

Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment (Ireland) Act 1860

The Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment (Ireland) Act 1860, better known as Deasy's Act, was an Act of Parliament preceding the agrarian unrest in Ireland in the 1880s, the "Land War".

The Act was named after its promoter Rickard Deasy, the Attorney-General for Ireland in the Liberal Party government of Lord Palmerston.

Deasy's Act amended the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Act 1826. The 1860 Act was itself amended by the Irish Land Acts.

The Act made contract law the basis for tenancies and abolished any feudal rents paid by services to a landlord, or by payments in kind.

Contents

Section 2

Section 2 remains the most important part of this Act. It provides that all agreements for the sale of Land (amongst others) must be in writing in order to be enforced.

Continuing effect

At a specialist law reform conference in 2003 it was said that Deasy's Act "continues as the foundation of the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland".[1]
