When the tenant refuses to vacate after the contract ends

The lease term ending doesn't automatically mean the property is vacated; if the tenant refuses to hand it over, the landlord needs an eviction lawsuit before the competent General Court unless the contract contains an explicit enforceable clause allowing a faster route. How long an eviction case takes varies depending on the complexity of defenses the tenant raises (such as claiming unperformed maintenance or a dispute over the rent amount), so documenting the property's condition and the timing of notices sent to the tenant beforehand significantly strengthens the landlord's position.

Automatic renewal: a frequently overlooked clause

Many lease contracts include an automatic renewal clause unless one party notifies the other of their intent not to renew within a defined period (usually 30 or 60 days before the contract ends). Missing this notice at the right time obligates both parties to continue the contract for an entire additional term despite one party wanting to end it, and this is one of the most common sources of disputes the lawyers handle specifically in commercial lease contracts.

Payment order vs. a full lawsuit

A payment order is much faster and suited to clear-cut cases like late payment. Disputes involving a substantive disagreement (like the grounds for eviction or the extent of damage) need a full case before the relevant general court.

Documenting the contract via Ejar: not really optional

While documenting a lease contract through the Ejar platform might seem a purely administrative step, it's the practical requirement for benefiting from the fast payment-order route, and for proving the contract's terms before any official body later (such as the municipality or utility companies). Undocumented contracts lose much of their evidentiary weight in a dispute, even if written and signed by both parties.
