Landlord – Tenant – Rent – Litigation Procedure – Notification – Eviction
This case involved the eviction of a tenant for non-payment of rent. The notification had been wrongly sent to the shop which was closed when it should have been sent to the company headquarters.
Background
Some landlords filed a case against a tenant before the court requesting the eviction of a tenant from a rented property. The landlords said that the tenant had failed to pay the rent.
The court ruled that the tenant should vacate the rented property.
The tenant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court said that the tenant had no right to appeal the ruling.
Decision
The tenant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and that he had maintained before the court that the notification of the initial ruling was invalid because it was sent to the rented property instead of the headquarter of his company.
