Protected rents protect lessees from the termination of the lease by the lessor.
In this case the lease does not end automatically unless the lessor has terminated it legally. The lease agreement does not come to an end either if the agreed lease period has expired or the plot of which the leased premises forms part is sold. The lessor must have a valid reason to terminate the lease agreement.
If your lessor terminates the lease agreement and you do not agree with this, the lease contract continues to run. In that case the lessor will have to go to court. The district court should then decide whether the lease agreement must be terminated and the leased premises must be vacated. The district court will terminate the lease agreement only if the reason given by the lessor is legally valid.
The grounds for termination are laid down by law and are as follows:
If the lessor terminates the lease, they must observe the periods of notice contained in the law.
