Leasing one’s house during an extended absence

\"A tenant will help me getting by until the end of the month and maintain a presence in the apartment until I will return to live at the dwelling when I need it,\" you may tell yourself. Your neighbour may have done so, or your brother-in-law, during a buffer period when his residence was empty, and the tenant left after a year and he was able to regain possession of his house. One would like this to be as easy as it sounds. In this particular situation your neighbour or your brother-in-law were probably lucky that the tenant left at the end of his lease, quite simply. The situation could have been much different though. We can never stress it enough: the tenant has the right to maintain occupancy of the premises, that is to say, his lease is renewed automatically.
