What happens if the tenant does not pay the rent on time? According to the Tenancy Act, the landlord has the right to terminate the lease if the tenant is late with payment by more than a week. This is called forfeiture of the tenancy.

Can the tenant demand a reduction in rent if the storage does not meet the agreed standard? The tenant has the right to request a rent reduction if the storage does not meet the agreed standard. This may include deficiencies in security or accessibility.

Is it possible to change the rental terms after the agreement is signed? Yes, but such changes must be made in accordance with what is reasonable and fair to both parties. The tenant must always be informed and accept the changes.

Can the landlord refuse to extend the lease? If the rental agreement runs for a fixed period, it automatically ends at the end of the period unless both parties agree on an extension. If the agreement is for an indefinite period, the landlord must have a valid reason for refusing an extension.
