Legal support in tenancy agreements, landlords, tenants and rental disputes
Tenancy involves rights and obligations for landlords and tenants, and it is essential that the agreement clearly sets out the term, rent, security deposits, indexation, maintenance of the property, works, termination, opposition to renewal and any other relevant conditions. We assist with the drafting and review of tenancy agreements, analysis of breaches, negotiation between the parties and support in proceedings relating to rent arrears, termination of the agreement, eviction or other rental disputes. Our work is focused on preventing disputes and protecting the client’s rights.

Frequently Asked Questions
We clarify some of the most common questions about tenancy agreements, overdue rent, termination of the contract and the rights of landlords and tenants
Must a tenancy agreement always be in writing?
Yes. A tenancy agreement must be made in writing and should set out essential details such as the parties’ identification, the property, purpose, duration, rent, security and any other agreed terms.
What can the landlord do if rent is overdue?
The landlord may notify the tenant to pay and, depending on the circumstances, proceed with the appropriate legal means to recover the rent or terminate the agreement. Action must comply with the time limits and formalities provided by law.
Can the tenant terminate the agreement before the end of the term?
In certain situations, the tenant may terminate the agreement, provided that the applicable notice periods are observed. The assessment depends on the type of agreement, its duration and the clauses agreed.
When is eviction possible?
Eviction may be possible in situations such as non-payment of rent, valid termination of the agreement, objection to renewal or serious breach. Each case requires an assessment of the documentation, time limits and notices served.
