Delay

§ 94

If the leased property is not completed at the time the tenant is supposed to take possession according to the agreement, or if the previous tenant has not vacated at the time of possession, or if there is another obstacle to the tenant's possession of the leased property at the agreed time, not due to the tenant's circumstances, the tenant may demand a proportional reduction in rent.

Stk. 2.The tenant may terminate the lease agreement in cases of significant delay as mentioned in subsection 1, unless the delay by the landlord is presumed not to be of significant importance to the tenant. The right to terminate the lease is conditional upon the tenant having made a demand to the landlord after the delay has occurred, and the tenant's possession cannot take place within a reasonable time thereafter. If the leased property is not completed at the time of entering into the lease agreement and the time of possession is not agreed upon, the tenant may terminate the agreement at any time before possession. However, the lease agreement can always be terminated in the event of any delay if the tenant has expressly conditioned possession of the premises at a specific time.

Stk. 3.Regardless of whether the tenant terminates the lease agreement, the tenant may demand compensation in cases where the previous tenant has not vacated, unless the landlord proves that the delay is not due to any circumstance for which the landlord is responsible.
