Introduction

We've learned that a tenant is viewed as owning the rental for the duration of the lease. Upon the completion of a property rental, the property automatically reverts back to the owner. However, for an open-ended lease, there is a halachic requirement of giving notice to terminate, from the landlord to the tenant and vice versa. If either party fails to give notice at the proper time, the other party may demand that the lease be continued.

Points to Ponder

o How much notice is required to be given before terminating a lease?

o If notice was not given and the market changed, can the rate be adjusted to reflect the change?

o What happens if the tenant moves out without giving notice - must they continue to pay the rent?

o Are laws such as rent control and anti-eviction recognized by halacha?
