Tenancy law

Tenancy law is legislation laying down rules concerning renting and letting. In the case of letting the lessor undertakes to give for use an object or part thereof for a consideration. This usually takes the form of money but may take another form.

Whether you are renting or letting this has consequences for you, irrespective of whether we are talking about moveable property or real estate like a dwelling, a shop or office premises. The lessee of built property is protected from eviction and can count on controlled rents when renting residential property. The lessor by law is also protected against exploitation.

Serious disputes may arise in the relationship between landlord and tenant. A case in point is an exorbitant rent increase, or serious nuisance or unpaid rent on the part of the party to whom you are letting.
