Evvlytningsgaranti ApS: Make your commercial lease eviction go smoothly
When a commercial lease is coming to an end, questions can often arise about the condition in which the tenant must deliver the property and to what extent the landlord can demand coverage of the costs of refurbishing the property. If the rules for eviction are not observed, you as a landlord may end up facing significant expenses. Let's explore the rules on eviction and present five important recommendations from Udflytningsgaranti ApS, which every landlord of commercial leases should be aware of when tenants vacate.
1. Comply with the Agreement on the Condition of the Property
In commercial leases, there is a significant degree of flexibility, which allows for individual terms to be negotiated in the commercial lease.
It is important to note that the commercial lease must be handed over in the condition agreed in the lease. If there are no specific agreements, the property must be returned in the same condition as when it was taken over, apart from normal wear and tear and defects, which are the landlord's responsibility to remedy. Therefore, the landlord's demand for repairs depends to a large extent on which maintenance and renovation tasks the tenant has committed to in the commercial lease.
The landlord cannot normally demand that the property be in a better condition when moving out than when the lease began. But in lease agreements entered into after 1 January 2000, exceptions may be agreed. It is important to specify such exceptions in the rental agreement.
It is crucial to have the right clauses in the commercial lease before moving in and carefully review and evaluate the contract before the tenant moves out.
2. Document the condition of the property upon moving in
As a starting point, the burden of proof for any defects in the property when the tenant moves out lies with the landlord. It is easier for the landlord to document any defects if there is documentation for the condition of the property both when moving in and when moving out.
Utvlytningsgaranti ApS therefore recommends that the landlord prepare a comprehensive move-in report with photos when the tenant moves in. This can help establish the original condition of the property and reduce the risk of disputes later.
3. Carry out a joint eviction inspection and make a report
In commercial leases, there is not necessarily a requirement for a mandatory contract eviction view as in some residential leases. However, it will often be agreed in the business lease that there must be a joint eviction inspection. Even if this has not been agreed, the landlord can advantageously invite the tenant to a joint inspection to determine which repair tasks the tenant is responsible for.
At the inspection or immediately afterwards, the landlord should prepare a thorough eviction report with pictures, where it is precisely specified which defects must be rectified at the tenant's expense.
In larger commercial tenancies, it can be difficult to prepare an adequate report on site, especially if there are many deficiencies. If an interim report is provided to the tenant, the landlord should take into account possible additions and changes to the final report, as this may affect the requirements.
For the sake of the burden of proof, it is important that the landlord receives a receipt from the tenant for having received a copy of the report.
4. Pay attention to the complaint deadline
In commercial tenancies, the landlord must normally make claims regarding the condition of the property no later than four weeks after the tenant has moved out. However, shorter or longer complaint periods can be agreed in the commercial lease.
Evvlytningsgaranti ApS recommends that the lessor extend the complaint deadline in the contract. If the lessor does not make his claim before the expiry of the deadline, the lessor risks losing his right to repairs, unless there are hidden faults and defects or the lessee has acted fraudulently.
It is not necessary for the lessor to be able to calculate the costs of repairs before the expiry of the deadline. The only requirement is that the tenant is notified of the necessary renovation works.
5. Remember to collect the necessary documentation along the way
If disputes arise about the landlord's claims against the tenant in connection with eviction, a case can be brought before the housing court, unless arbitration has been agreed. In such a case, the housing court will typically assess the evidence of the property's condition at both move-in and move-out, as both parts are important to the case.
Normally, the landlord must prove that the property was defective at the time of eviction. The evidence can be presented in different ways. The most effective method is securing evidence in the form of opinion and judgment without legal interference. However, this method cannot be used if the deficiencies have been rectified before the housing authority has the opportunity to carry out an inspection. In that case, the landlord must document his claim in court by presenting reports from both move-in and move-out with photos, testimonials and the like.
