Subject of Dispute: Recovery of Debt for Rent and Penalty under a Real Estate Lease Agreement between JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” and Individual Entrepreneur Eismont V.S.
Key Court Arguments:
1. The court established that lease agreement No. 589 had a long history of extension, but after legislative changes from 01.02.2020, the procedure for contract extension changed.
2. Previous instance courts considered that the contract terminated on 30.09.2020 due to the absence of a tenant’s application for extension in accordance with the new legislation.
3. The Supreme Court drew attention that courts did not clarify the legal status of the property and did not verify whether contractual relations were disputed until 31.03.2023.
Court Decision: Cancel previous court decisions regarding the refusal to recover rent debt and refer the case for new consideration.
