Previous decision of the Supreme Court: Tenants who do not adhere to the notice period will pay compensation

The Third Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of Appeal has taken a decisive decision on early evictions carried out without adhering to notice periods in rental agreements. The court ruled that the tenant who vacates the property without adhering to the periods specified in the contract must pay the property owner a rental fee for the period agreed upon in the contract.

In the case in question, in the 5-year warehouse lease agreement, there was a requirement for the tenant to give at least 6 months' notice. The lower courts ordered compensation based on one month's rent to the tenant who was evicted without notice. However, the Supreme Court overturned the decisions of the District Court, stating that the 6-month notice period specified under the freedom of contract should be taken as a basis.
