Legislator summary

The Court of Appeal allowed the tenant's appeal, extending the lease termination date to the final day of the agreed rental period. Although the landlord's estate had lawfully terminated the contract on September 2, 1977, the court determined the effective termination date was the last day of the specific rental term. Consequently, the tenant was permitted to remain in the apartment until January 14, 1978, rather than the earlier date proposed by the landlord.

Section 1 of the Tenancy Act 1975; Section 2 of the Tenancy Act 1975: A termination notice given during a multi-term lease expires at the end of the current term unless the notice specifies a later date, thereby preserving the tenant's right to occupy until that final day.

Asuinhuoneisto oli 7.1.1963 vuokrattu B:lle 15.1.1963 ja 14.1.1964 väliseksi ajaksi ja sen jälkeen yhden vuoden pituiseksi vuokrakaudeksi kerrallaan. Vuokranantajan kuolinpesän osakkaiden kanteesta Helsingin AO on tuomiossaan 2.11.1977 lausunut, että kuolinpesän osakkaat olivat 2.9.1977 irtisanoneet

huoneistoa koskevan vuokrasopimuksen päättymään 31.12.1977. Koska irtisanominen oli toimitettu laillisesti ja sille ilmoitettu peruste oli näytetty toteen, AO on vahvistanut,

että vuokrasopimus päättyi irtisanomisen johdosta 31.12.1977 ja siirtäen B:n muuttopäivää velvoitti hänet muuttamaan.

B haki muutosta.

HO: Koska irtisanomispäivä vuokrasopimuksen vuokrakautta koskevan ehdon vuoksi on vuokrakauden viimeinen päivä eli 14.1.1978, vuokrasopimus vahvistettiin irtisanomisen johdosta lakkaavaksi 14.4.1978.
