Tenant wants to leave apartment early after eviction notice: Is he entitled to a refund?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in the process of selling an apartment that is tenanted until February 2024. In April 2023, I served the tenant with an eviction notice due to my plan to sell, which means he has until April 2024 to leave the apartment.
The contract stipulates that he is liable for two months' rent for early termination.
The tenant has informed me that he wishes to leave immediately and is demanding a refund of rent paid for the entire remaining period of the contract.
He claims that, according to the DLD, he can leave with no notice and without any penalty due to the eviction notice. Is he correct?
