Rent reassessment
Court of Cassation, 3rd Civil Chamber · E. 2023/2617, K. 2024/731 · 21.02.2024
The court upheld a rent assessment based on an on-site examination and comparable leases. The 10% allowance for an existing tenant was specific to this case; the tenant’s procedural acquired rights from the earlier appeal were also protected.

Eviction based on need in residential and roofed business leases
Court of Cassation, 3rd Civil Chamber · E. 2023/4583, K. 2024/3289 · 23.10.2024
A company’s need for the adjoining business premises was established through inspection, expert evidence and business records showing that the existing area was insufficient. The court upheld eviction because the proven need was real, sincere and necessary.

Court of Cassation, 3rd Civil Chamber · E. 2024/2446, K. 2025/1440 · 10.03.2025
In resolving inconsistent regional appellate decisions, the court held that a contractual advance-notice requirement favourable to the tenant binds the landlord. Failure to comply means the lease extends for another year; filing within the statutory one-month period does not cure that failure.

Eviction for default
Court of Cassation, 12th Civil Chamber · E. 2022/12772, K. 2023/755 · 09.02.2023
The tenant did not pay within the 30-day period in a payment order that became final without objection. The court upheld eviction and distinguished this enforcement route from eviction based on two justified notices; an objection to service also had to be raised in time.

Court of Cassation, 3rd Civil Chamber · E. 2023/4070, K. 2024/3545 · 06.11.2024
The default notice was not issued by all required co-landlords and heirs. The court reversed the eviction judgment because consent obtained from a missing heir during litigation could not retroactively validate the notice.

Denial of signature on an undertaking to vacate
Court of Cassation, 3rd Civil Chamber · E. 2024/3413, K. 2025/3541 · 25.06.2025
The tenant company denied its representative’s signature on the written undertaking to vacate. Expert and forensic reports attributed the signature to the authorised representative, and the allegation that the document had later been filled in was not proved by written evidence; the court upheld the eviction result.

Court of Cassation, 12th Civil Chamber · E. 2023/4792, K. 2023/5594 · 03.10.2023
The tenant did not expressly deny the signature or date in the initial enforcement objection and first raised the signature issue before the enforcement court. The court upheld the ruling that the grounds of objection could not be expanded at that stage.

Tenant and owner liability for common expenses
Liability to the building management must be distinguished from the allocation of expenses between landlord and tenant. The first decision addresses owner and continuous-user liability; the second concerns a contractual obligation under a sublease.
Court of Cassation, 5th Civil Chamber · E. 2022/9197, K. 2023/1235 · 15.02.2023
Under Article 22 of the Condominium Ownership Law, a continuous user is jointly and severally liable with the owner for the relevant common expenses, advances and late-payment compensation. A tenant’s liability is limited to the rent the tenant is obliged to pay; the court reversed the dismissal so the debt could be determined within that limit.

Court of Cassation, 12th Civil Chamber · E. 2023/3246, K. 2023/3416 · 16.05.2023
In this sublease, the tenant had contractually undertaken to pay common operating expenses. The court upheld eviction for nonpayment of those ancillary expenses in the applicable enforcement procedure. The case does not remove an owner’s liability to the building management.
