Case Summary: Supreme Court (Rent Circuit) Contestation 169/2019 (Tenancy Agreement Special Commencement Date)

The Supreme Court ruled that a tenancy agreement commences on the date agreed between the parties for the commencement of the rent, and not the date of the actual tenancy agreement. In this case, the parties agreed that the tenancy agreement for a shop commences when the shopping mall officially opens, and because the shopping mall failed to open, the Supreme Court decided that the tenant owed no rent to the landlord and that the contract is rescinded.
