Term of the rental agreement

The rental agreement cannot be concluded for more than 10 /ten/ years.

Provided that the lessor is not the owner and has only the right to simple management, he can only enter into a lease for a period of up to 3 years.

If a rental contract is concluded for a longer period, it is considered that the contract is valid for a period of up to 3 years or up to 10 years, respectively.

Leasing of an item from a lessee

If a clause prohibiting the subletting of an item under a lease agreement is expressly included in the lease, the lessee has no right to sublet. In all other cases, each lessee has the right to sublease the item that he has rented to another third party.

In this case, the subtenant cannot have more rights than those of the tenant.

When concluding a contract for renting a room in a condominium, the tenant is obliged to fulfill all the rules. Otherwise, he can be removed from the rented premises at the request of the apartment management

If the lease term expires

• If the use of the property is continued after the rental period has expired with the knowledge and without opposition of the lessor, the contract is considered extended for an indefinite period.

• If the object is continued to be used despite the lessor's opposition, the lessor owes compensation and must fulfill all obligations arising from the terminated rental agreement.

If during the transfer of property / sale, donation, exchange, etc. / there is still a valid rental agreement

In the event that a rental agreement is available at the time of the transfer of real estate, the same remains in force against the new owner only if it was entered in the property register.

This lease shall be binding on the new owner for the term provided therein, but not for more than one year from the transfer.

In the event that there is no reliable date and the tenant is in possession of the property, the contract is binding on the transferee as a lease without a fixed term.

The lessor owes compensation to the lessee if the latter is deprived of the use of the leased property before the end of the lease term due to the transfer of the property.
