As a general rule, each party to the contract must be able to assume that the contract is valid until its regular termination. Therefore, when applying for extraordinary termination, it is necessary to assess the interests of both parties and determine whether the specific circumstances are significant enough for the party seeking termination to outweigh the other party's interest in the contract continuing until its regular end.
In the case of extraordinary termination of a residential lease agreement, the provisions of the Law of Obligations Act §§ 314–319 must be taken into account. Valid reasons for applying extraordinary termination primarily include significant breaches of the contract, such as delays in rent payment, as well as situations where the condition of the dwelling poses a serious risk to a person's health.
Minor inconveniences or changes in personal life, such as a decrease in income, a breakup with a partner, or relocation due to a better job offer, do not provide grounds for extraordinary termination. More information on this topic can be found in our blog.
