At the end of the tenancy

Notice, non-renewal, termination, return of the property and applicable procedures.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do the same rules apply to residential and commercial leases?

Not necessarily. The purpose of the agreement and its clauses affect the applicable legal regime.

Can I end the tenancy by email alone?

Validity and effectiveness depend on the legal ground, form, recipient and required notice period. The communication should be reviewed before it is sent.

Do all tenancy disputes go to court?

No. In some situations, the matter may be resolved by agreement.
