Which home is being let?

Together with the questions about how you hold and let the home yourself, this decides which act governs the agreement — and with it the notice periods and security of tenure.

Parties

You, letting the home — either the primary tenant or the owner.

Optional, but it makes the agreement easier to rely on in a dispute.

Optional, but it makes the agreement easier to rely on in a dispute.

Worth knowing

  • You have not stated any permission. Letting without permission can cost you your own home — make sure permission is in place before the agreement is signed. For a rental apartment it is also a criminal offence to sublet without permission while charging a rent that is not fair: the penalty is a fine or up to two years’ imprisonment, and for a serious offence between six months and four years (Chapter 12, § 65 c of the Land Code).
  • The letting can run for more than two consecutive years. At that point the subtenant gains security of tenure against you (Chapter 12, § 45 of the Land Code). To avoid it you need a waiver drawn up in a separate document — putting it in the contract is not enough — which as a rule must be approved by the Rent Tribunal (Chapter 12, § 45 a of the Land Code).
