Tenant’s Default
If the tenant fails to pay the rent or other expenses due after the delivery of the leased property, the landlord may give the tenant a written notice stating that the contract will be terminated if payment is not made within this period. The period to be given to the tenant shall be at least ten days, and at least thirty days for residential and commercial lease agreements. This period shall commence on the day following the date of the written notice to the tenant.
Unless otherwise specified in the agreement or local customs and practices, the tenant is obligated to pay the rent and, if necessary, additional expenses at the end of each month and at the latest at the end of the lease term. Failure by the tenant to comply with these obligations gives the landlord the right to terminate the agreement. To do so, the tenant must be given written notice and at least thirty days to make the payment.
The lawsuit is filed in the Civil Court of Peace in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure. The competent court is the court where the immovable property is located.
Following the decision in the eviction lawsuit filed due to default, the necessary eviction procedures are initiated through compulsory enforcement at the enforcement office.
