March 7, 201016 yr I got a 3 + 2 year rent contract. I love the house. Assuming I fulfill al my obligation can the owner cancel the contract prematurely? E.g. in case of sale of the house?
March 7, 201016 yr agreement is automaticly canselled if property sold/transfered, if agreement is not registered in land deed any rental agreement longer than 3 years is considered illegal if its not registered in land deed and payed taxes to land office. incometax and tessabaan tax are additional. can be canselled at any time. other reasons to cansell agreement should be stated in agreement
March 7, 201016 yr Lease is NOT automatically cancelled by sale / transfer of the freehold (Civil and Commercial Code 569). A Lease for longer than 3 years that isn't registered isn't 'illegal'. All else being equal it remains valid and enfoceable EXCEPT for the term which will be no longer than 3 years. As the OP talks of a 3+2 then the 2 is a promise to renew and is techinically enforceable against the original lessor who made that contractual promise. That cannot be enforced aganst a new freeholder who merely buys the land.
