If a landlord decides not to renew a rental contract, the new housing decree forces them to compensate the tenant with at least a year’s rent.
- The second housing decree is set to appear in the Official State Gazette on Thursday.
- It introduces an automatic renewal system for leases, but still lets owners end the contract at its natural expiry.
- Owners can avoid the payment only if they prove one of the legally‑allowed reasons for termination.
- The compensation equals a minimum of 12 monthly rent payments.
This change aims to give renters more security while holding landlords accountable.
