Explanation of Article 415

Explanation of Article 415

This article addresses the situation where the lease term has ended and the lessee has an urgent necessity that requires the extension of the lease term. It stipulates that the lease term is extended to the extent of the necessity, with the lessee obligated to pay the equivalent rent for the extended period. For instance, if the lease contract pertains to agricultural land and the lessee has cultivated it, but the lease term ends before they can harvest the crops, the lease term is extended until the harvest is completed. In such a case, the lessee must pay the lessor the equivalent rent for the period from the end of the original lease term until the end of the harvest period.

Article 415

If the lease term expires and it is established that there is an urgent need for extension, such term shall be extended only to the extent of such need, provided that the lessee pays the rent of a similar thing for such period, unless agreed otherwise.
