Landlord's response to rent refusal after 15% increase
Today, Tuesday, September 1, 2026, the annual increase of 15% has begun to be applied to the rental values of units subject to the old lease law. This comes after one year since the enforcement of Law No. 164 of 2025, which regulated the relationship between landlords and tenants and allowed for periodic increases during the transitional period. In cases where the tenant refuses to pay the agreed rent, the landlord is obligated to follow legal procedures, starting with demanding payment from the tenant and issuing a formal notice in accordance with the law. The landlord is not permitted to take physical actions outside the legal framework, such as eviction or changing locks; instead, they must resort to the judiciary to claim the rent or seek eviction when the legal conditions are met. The law aims to regulate the relationship and resolve disputes legally, without personal intervention from the landlord. It also reminds both parties to respect their legal rights in cases of non-payment.
