General Grounds For Termination Of Lease Agreements In Residential And Commercial Properties
Tenant Default
If the tenant fails to pay the rent or incidental expenses due after the delivery of the leased property, the landlord may give the tenant a written notice specifying a period of time and stating that the contract will be terminated if payment is not made within that period. The period to be given to the tenant shall be at least ten days, and at least thirty days for residential and covered workplace leases. This period shall commence on the day following the date of written notification to the tenant.
Tenant’s Breach of Duty of Care
The tenant is obligated to use the leased property with due care in accordance with the contract and to show the necessary respect to the persons residing in the immovable property where the leased property is located and to the neighbors. If the tenant acts in breach of this obligation, the lessor shall give the tenant at least thirty days’ notice in residential and commercial property leases, warning that the breach must be remedied or the contract will be terminated. In other lease relationships, the lessor may terminate the contract immediately by written notice to the tenant without prior warning. In the case of residential and covered workplace leases, if the tenant intentionally causes serious damage to the leased property, if it is understood that giving the tenant time to remedy the breach would be futile, or if the tenant’s breach of this obligation is intolerable to the lessor or to persons residing in the same immovable property or to neighbors, the lessor may terminate the contract immediately by written notice.
