Lease Performance Claim And The Tenant's Related Objections

Abstract: In a previous article, on the occasion of the analysis of the legal framework governing the correction of first offer price in e-auctions (Art.954 (4) of the Civil Code), we talked about the upward price trend in the Greek real estate market. The ever-increasing purchase and rental price of a property, combined with the economic recession that is being observed, inevitably leads to the difficulty of many tenants to pay the agreed rent. By extension, non-payment of rent to landlords creates a demand by the latter that the tenant leaves and the lease is returned to them. In this article we will discuss objections that the tenant may raise in the action for the return of the lease brought against him by the landlord, that is, the action seeking to return the lease to the landlord's own possession.
