Tenancy Law

Whether it concerns residential tenancy, commercial leases, or farming leases (agricultural leases), FAIRWAY offers expert support for both tenants and landlords. The focus of our specialists is primarily on the applicable regulations, which vary depending on the type of tenancy and the region concerned. For both tenants and landlords, there are several crucial elements that can be decisive. The regulations governing residential tenancy differ from those governing commercial leases, which in turn differ from the legislation governing farming leases (agricultural leases).

My tenant is not paying the rent, what now?

This is undoubtedly an unpleasant situation. You obviously acquired your rental property for the income it generates and count on the rental payments. What to do when your tenant does not pay the rent? You cannot unilaterally evict the tenant or take back possession of the property of your own accord.

Contacting the tenant

In the event of late payment or non-payment, first contact the tenant. If the tenant still does not pay, send a formal notice of default by registered post without delay. This letter requires the tenant to pay within a specified period.

No response to the letter of default?

Unfortunately, you will then have no option but to refer the matter to the competent court. This can be done through a conciliation procedure or a judicial procedure. Especially for the latter, the assistance of a lawyer specialising in tenancy law is recommended. Do not hesitate to contact one of our specialist lawyers.
