When is the tenant obliged to vacate the property after the expiration of the lease?
Is the lawsuit for rent payment is declared mandatory enforceable?
Often a tenant asks us, “The lease has expired, how long do I have to vacate the property?”
The answer has two sides, a legal one and a realistic one. The legal aspect is partly self-evident. On the day the lease expires – in “fixed-term” contracts, i.e., contracts with a predetermined duration (which we remind you are at least three years for primary residence contracts), the tenant is obliged to return the property to the owner. If the tenant continues to reside in the property, then the so-called “re-lease” takes place, and the lease becomes indefinite. This means that it can be terminated at any time with notice. The notice is “activated” at least fifteen days before the end of the calendar month. That is, if the owner initiates a “notice” and requests that the tenant vacate, the tenant must vacate on the date the notice is activated. These were the provisions of the law.
