Let’s break down how the law protects your rights and what to do if the new owner wants to terminate the contract.
⸻
📜 PROPERTY OWNERSHIP CHANGE DOES NOT AFFECT THE RENTAL AGREEMENT
In practice, a change of ownership does not affect the current rental agreement. If the previous owner did not notify the tenant about terminating the agreement, the rights and obligations under the contract automatically transfer to the new owner.
Important:
• The rental amount and contract duration remain unchanged.
• Transfer of ownership is not a valid reason for terminating the rental agreement.
⸻
✍️ NO ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT REQUIRED
When ownership changes, there is no need to draw up a new contract or sign an additional agreement. The new owner must:
• Inform the tenant about the change of ownership.
• Provide their contact details for communication.
The tenant, in turn, has no right to dispute the fact of ownership change. It is essential to remember that any outstanding rent payments remain owed to the previous owner.
⸻
💰 WHO SHOULD RETURN THE DEPOSIT?
At the end of the rental term, the new owner is responsible for returning the deposit amount, regardless of whom it was initially paid to. This point is crucial to avoid potential disputes.
⸻
⏳ IF THE NEW OWNER WANTS TO EVICT YOU
A change of ownership does not grant the new owner the right to demand your eviction before the lease term ends. Even if the new owner intends to:
• Sell the property;
• Personally occupy the apartment.
In such cases, the owner must comply with legally established deadlines and notify the tenant in advance.
⸻
✅ CONCLUSION: YOUR RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED!
A change of ownership should not be a cause for concern. Your rental agreement remains valid, and the new owner must adhere to its terms. Know your rights and don’t let anyone violate them!
