Does judge's order to renew tenancy contract overrule eviction notice?

Hello,

Yesterday, I won a case against my landlord. The judge ordered a renewal of my tenancy contract for one (1) year, and the landlord must pay the expenses (3% of my annual rental).

However, the judge is aware that I received an eviction notice from my landlord.

As a result, I can only get an 8-month tenancy contract, not a one-year contract.

Does the judge's verdict of a 1-year contract renewal supersede the eviction notice, which only allows for 8 months?

If so, must the landlord accept the renewal for 1 year instead of 8 months?

Hi,

Pursuant to your query, the contract will be renewed for 8 months as the notice is already served.

However, if the landlord agrees to renew the contract for 1 year in accordance with the judgment, then you will have to evict the apartment after 1 year.

Hi Shamsa,

Thank you for the reply!

From my understanding; since I got the judge's verdict for 1 year, the landlord should accept it, as long as he doesn't appeal within 15 days of the verdict issuance, not sure honestly.

In this case, you will have to wait for 15 days.

Hello,

This renewal judgment has a temporary validity.

The landlord can file his lawsuit upon the completion of the eviction notice period without this judgment having any effect.

Hi Mahmoud,

Thank you for your input!

It seems like I will be prone to a lawsuit if I don't follow the period in the eviction notice, however, I don't think the landlord can reject the judge's verdict if he doesn't appeal within 15 days.

According to this judgment, the landlord must allow you to access the property and provide you with Ejari so that you can use the property until the expiration of the notice period.

At that time, you will see whether the landlord is determined to vacate or not.

Thank you for the insights you provided, Mahmoud!

Anytime!

Dear Questioner,

According to this scenario, yes, the landlord is obliged to renew the lease for a full year according to the judge's ruling.

For a more accurate answer, we must see the verdict.

12 Oct 2023, 08:03

Hi Younis, thank you for your reply!

This is exactly what I'm expecting, I just attached the verdict, for your information.

12 Oct 2023, 08:13

You are welcome!

According to the judgment you sent, the term of the lease starts on 10/09/2023 and expires one year after this date.

That is, it starts on 10/09/2023 and ends on 9/09/2024.

12 Oct 2023, 08:22

That's correct Younis, however, as per my eviction notice, I have till 11th May 2024, which is 8 months only, that's why according to the judge's verdict, I have the right to renew the tenancy contract for a year, which in my opinion supersedes the eviction notice.

12 Oct 2023, 11:10

Please note that the eviction notice did not comply with the provisions of the law, so the judge ordered the renewal of the tenancy contract.

12 Oct 2023, 11:29

Oh okay, then it makes sense why the judge's verdict is for a 1-year renewal of the Tenancy Contract.

Thank you for noting that out!

Dear Questioner,

If the judge approves renewal for 1 year, you can stay there for one year and the eviction notice will not be valid according to this situation.

In order to confirm this, we need some more information. We will arrange a legal consultation session for a charge of 28$.

Share your WhatsApp number if you want to go with the services.

Hi Khaled,

Thank you for your input!

I will be waiting for the 15 days to pass, as it's the period allowed for the defendant to appeal, and I will get back to you if I need further assistance.
