Rental Agreement Terms Analysis

Summary

Jose proposed terms for leaving a rental early, including paying for June and half of July. Askhs response did not explicitly accept these terms, maintaining Joses responsibility for June and July rent unless a new tenant is found. Norwegian law requires clear acceptance of contract terms, and without explicit written agreement, the assumption of acceptance may not be legally valid. Consulting a Norwegian lawyer for specific legal advice is recommended.

If you were to leave by the 31st of may as specified, you would not be deducted for the finn ad. Regarding the deposit, it would be transferred back to you in full, assuming there are no damages and the cleaning job is satisfactory. This would mean you are still responsible for paying the months of June and July on your end. If a tenant is to be found during the months of June or July and they move in, you will be notified regarding the rent. I will be sending you a cleaning list shortly. Best Regards Askh
Hi Jose, it sounds like you're navigating the terms of your rental agreement and deposit return. Here are some general tips based on Osaka's rental laws:
- Document all agreements in writing, including any changes.
- Confirm deductions from the deposit are reasonable and agreed upon.
- Understand your rights as a tenant and the landlord's obligations.
If you need further clarification or help, feel free to ask!
please analyse those * emails in accordance with norwegian law. Did Askh accept the terms to receiving only half the rent in july.
Based on the emails exchanged between Jose and Askh, here's an analysis under Norwegian law regarding rental agreements:
*. Offer and Acceptance:
- Jose outlines the terms, including returning part of the deposit after discounting June and half of July, and potentially returning the other half of July if the apartment is rented out.
- Askh's response does not explicitly accept these terms. Instead, it specifies that Jose remains responsible for June and July rent unless another tenant is found.
*. Norwegian Contract Law Principles:
- Written Agreement: Any changes or agreements should be documented clearly. In this case, Askh does not confirm the acceptance of Jose's proposed terms.
- Deposit and Deductions: Deductions from deposits must be agreed upon. Askh mentions a refund of the deposit, assuming no damages and satisfactory cleaning, not agreeing to Jose's term of discounting half of July.
*. Conclusion:
- Askh did not explicitly agree to receiving only half the rent in July; rather, he maintained that Jose is responsible for June and July unless a new tenant is found.
For specific legal advice, consulting with a lawyer in Norway is recommended, as laws can be complex and situation-dependent.
"Regarding your demand for the remainder of July’s rent: I refer you again to our email exchange on May 16th. In it, I clearly outlined the conditions under which I would leave the apartment early, including payment for June and half of July. You replied to that email without raising any objection to those terms, and you subsequently refunded my deposit in full on June 5th. These actions indicate clear acceptance of the agreement." is this true?
Case Rating: *
Based on the analysis of the emails, Askh did not explicitly agree to Jose's terms of paying for only half of July's rent. Norwegian contract law requires clear acceptance of terms, and Askh's response indicates Jose's responsibility for June and July unless a tenant is found. Without explicit written acceptance, the assumption of agreement may not hold legally. Consulting a lawyer for specific advice is suggested.
