Am I liable for compensation to the new owner after vacating a property with an expired lease?
Q: Dear Lawyers, I had been living in a house with an expired tenancy contract. The house was sold, and the security deposit was returned to me. Prior to the transfer, I had verbally informed the previous owner that I wanted to leave. Ten days after the transfer to the new owner, I vacated the premises. The new owner is now asking me for compensation. Does he have valid grounds to sue me, since my tenancy contract had expired and I didn`t sign one with the new landlord?

With 15 days left to renew, the agent added new clauses. Is this compliant with tenancy rules?
Q: Dear Lawyers, I am seeking advice regarding a situation with my tenancy contract renewal, and I believe it may require your assistance. My current rental contract is about to expire, and I informed the agent responsible for my contract three months ago that I intend to renew. At that time, the agent did not mention any rent increase. However, with only 15 days left to renew, the agent has now requested a 10% rent increase. I did not agree to this, but in good faith, I proposed a 3% increase, which aligns better with my family’s budget. The agent accepted my proposal but has now added new clauses to the contract, which were not discussed earlier. I do not want to accept these changes. I would like to understand if these last-minute changes are compliant with tenancy regulations and what steps I should take to proceed.

What should I do if my tenant gave 10 days' notice to vacate after the contract expired?
Q: Hello, My tenant`s contract expired in August 2023. I understand that, by law, it automatically renews for a year if there was no communication between the tenant and landlord. Based on this, the contract was renewed until August 2024. Now, my tenant has informed me that they plan to vacate the property in September with only 10 days` notice. When I refused and stated that a 3-month notice is required, they claimed the contract is no longer valid and has expired. I would like to know if the contract automatically renews each year, meaning if it expired in August 2024, did it get renewed again until August 2025? Thank you!
