A young professional in Israel rents an apartment with two other flatmates. Their lease is good until August with a section that allows each side, leader, and lessee, to give ample notice and cancel the rental agreement. The lease is legally binding in all ways, without exception. Nevertheless, the landlady and all the other homeowners in the building agreed to renovate the building and some of the construction work will have to take place inside the housing units.
This sometimes happens, when residents and tenants have to leave for a few days or a couple of weeks. At first, the landlady told her three tenants that she would let them stay until the end of April and not charge them any rent for March and April. That being said, however, the landlady then, suddenly, told our young professional and her flat-mates to move out completely by the end of March and not return, at all. Said landlady offered no compensation whatsoever. In case you are wondering, THIS IS NOT OKAY.
As it so happens, our young professional is a licensed lawyer, as is her father. With the landlady giving them an eviction notice conflictingly earlier than the period of time agreed upon in their signed lease, the three tenants will file suit for proper compensation. It turns out that the three can find alternate housing but the great inconvenience and distinct possibility that had it been different, they would be turned out and their jobs and livelihoods would be compromised, cannot be ignored. The landlady is brazenly in breach of contract.
Had these women ignored the lease or shrugged it off as “just standard,” they would have a lot to lose. Thanks to their lawyer in Jerusalem, Israel, they will be properly represented and advised in all necessary proceedings, to ensure the best possible outcome.
