Reduction in rent (price reduction/rent reduction) for late handover of a dwelling

This field is used if you have requirements that do not fit under any of the boxes above. If so, provide an explanation and justification for the claim. Reduction in rent (price reduction/rent reduction) for other reasons

An illegal rent goes beyond what has been agreed or permitted by law. Examples include prepayment beyond one month's rent, rent increase over the consumer price regulation, regulation of the common rent before the required 3 years, or that the landlord requires rent in addition for shoveling, property tax m.w., or rent which is substantially higher than the market rent. If it is paid illegal rent, it can be required returned. For illegal rent HTU can determine arrears from the payment happened, but you must remember to claim it. Repayment of illegal rent or other payments

The deposit must be on a separate bank account in the tenant's name. If the deposit is legal, the tenant after the tennancy is terminated may contact the bank and request that the deposit should be paid back to him. If such security is placed at the landlord's account this is considered as an irregular (illegal) deposit. The tenant is entitled to arrears of an illicit placed deposit from the payment occurred, cf. Tenancy Act § 3-7. An irregular deposit must immediately be paid from the landlord's account and deposited into an escrow deposit account in the tenant's name. Repayment of illegal deposits

The leash determines whether the contract can be terminated, by whom and by what deadline. If the lease contract does not say anything, it is the rules of the Tenancy Act, Chapter 9, as is applicable. Note the formal requirements of the landlord's notice, ref. Tenancy Act § 9-7. The tenant may, within one month after receiving notice of a written objection to the landlord to the termination, cf. § 9-8. Termination of a tenancy

"Heving" causes an immediate termination of the tenancy. It requires much to terminate the tenancy immediately. There must be a fundamental breach of the contract and it shall be given notice in written. Examples of material breach may be rent owed for at least 3 months, extensive damage or vandalism, and prolonged illegal sublet. For the tenant can immediate termination be applicable if the apartment is illegal or causes acute health hazard to stay in. If a cancellation is considered valid, it terminate the tenancy regardless of contractual and statutory deadlines for dismissal. Repudiation of a tenancy

The common (ordinary) rent is something other than the market rent. Market rent is the rent you have to pay if you are going to enter into a lease now. The current level of rents are the rents that have been established over time for similar apartments in the same area. When a tenancy has lasted for 2 ½ years, the landlord or the tenant may demand that the rent is regulated (adjusted) to current level of rents from the time the tenancy has lasted for three years. If the landlord and tenant can not agree, the Tribunal determine current level of rents. You can read more about § 4-3 in the link to Tenancy in the menu. Adjustment of rent to current rent

An illegal rent goes beyond what has been agreed or permitted by law. Examples include prepayment beyond one month's rent, rent increase over the consumer price regulation, regulation of the common rent before the required 3 years, or that the landlord requires rent in addition for shoveling, property tax m.w., or rent which is substantially higher than the market rent. If it is paid illegal rent, it can be required returned. For illegal rent HTU can determine arrears from the payment happened, but you must remember to claim it.

The deposit must be on a separate bank account in the tenant's name. If the deposit is legal, the tenant after the tennancy is terminated may contact the bank and request that the deposit should be paid back to him. If such security is placed at the landlord's account this is considered as an irregular (illegal) deposit. The tenant is entitled to arrears of an illicit placed deposit from the payment occurred, cf. Tenancy Act § 3-7. An irregular deposit must immediately be paid from the landlord's account and deposited into an escrow deposit account in the tenant's name.

The leash determines whether the contract can be terminated, by whom and by what deadline. If the lease contract does not say anything, it is the rules of the Tenancy Act, Chapter 9, as is applicable. Note the formal requirements of the landlord's notice, ref. Tenancy Act § 9-7. The tenant may, within one month after receiving notice of a written objection to the landlord to the termination, cf. § 9-8.

Termination of a tenancy

Explain why the tenancy has been terminated:

The termination is invalid.

The lessor's cancellation must have a valid reason and not seem unreasonable. If the dismissal lacks a good reason or is unreasonable, the Tribunal set aside the dismissal void. This assumes that the tenant has objected to the dismissal within the protest time limit, and that the landlord has appealed to the Tribunal, claiming that the termination is valid. A dismissal lacks an objective reason if the reason the landlord entered, is not real. If the dismissal would seem unreasonable, relies on a balancing of the parties' interests and will therefore depend on the parties' situation. The duration of tenancy, adjacent to the site and personal relationships are among the circumstances evaluated in the balancing of the parties' interests. The tenant does not need any reason to give notice. Explain why you think that the termination is unfair and/or invalid:

There are strict requirements as to form for the landlord's notice, ref. Tenancy Act § 9-7: A notice from the landlord should always be in writing. Denunciation shall indicate whether the tenant can object in writing within one month from receiving the notice. It shall also state that if the tenant does not object within the time limit, he loses his right to protest. In such case the owner is entitled to request a enforcement officer for help with an eviction. If a dismissal does not meet these requirements it is invalid, and HTU will put it aside. Copy of the termination	Attached
The tenant may object in writing to the landlord against the dismissal within one month after it is received, cf. Tenancy Act § 9-8. If the tenant does not object within the termination deadline, it is too late. If the tenant has objected before that, the landlord may deliver complaint to the Tribunal within 3 months after the tenant's protest deadline ran out. If the landlord does not do this, the termination ceases. Copy of the tenant's protest against termination	Attached

"Heving" causes an immediate termination of the tenancy. It requires much to terminate the tenancy immediately. There must be a fundamental breach of the contract and it shall be given notice in written. Examples of material breach may be rent owed for at least 3 months, extensive damage or vandalism, and prolonged illegal sublet. For the tenant can immediate termination be applicable if the apartment is illegal or causes acute health hazard to stay in. If a cancellation is considered valid, it terminate the tenancy regardless of contractual and statutory deadlines for dismissal.

Breach of contract may for example consist in that the tenant has not paid rent as agreed or is seriously interfered with their neighbors. Breachs by the lessor may be that the tenant has not been given access to the property, it has significant shortcomings or is illegal to live in.

The common (ordinary) rent is something other than the market rent. Market rent is the rent you have to pay if you are going to enter into a lease now. The current level of rents are the rents that have been established over time for similar apartments in the same area. When a tenancy has lasted for 2 ½ years, the landlord or the tenant may demand that the rent is regulated (adjusted) to current level of rents from the time the tenancy has lasted for three years. If the landlord and tenant can not agree, the Tribunal determine current level of rents. You can read more about § 4-3 in the link to Tenancy in the menu.

Current rent per month should be fixed at NOK .............

Your claims

You will find details below relating to the claims (claim) which you would like the Rent Disputes Tribunal to look at:

Case costs and interest

Case costs mean the expenses incurred by the Rent Disputes Tribunal in respect of the case. Interest means interest on overdue payments, cf. Section 3 of the Norwegian Act relating to Interest on Overdue Payments. If you do not make any changes, the default standard is that you should only claim fees and interest as per normal.

When the Rent Disputes Tribunal (HTU) receives a complaint, it will be sent an invoice for payment of the procedural fee. The Rent Disputes Tribunals processing of the case costs 1 court fee if the complaint is made by the landlord and 0.2 court fee if the complaint is made by the tenant. For information about the processing fees size, see in the left menu. The other party must pay the case processing fees and any notification costs.	Ja Nei
Act of Interest on Overdue Payments etc., the person who has a financial claim on certain conditions may require arrears on overdue payments. The penalty interest is normally higher than the usual rate. Ministry determines every six months arrears size. Rent tribunal can only make decision about interest if it is made a requirement. If you require arrears, you do not need to disclose the interest rate size or enclose a calculation. The other party must pay interest on overdue payments, cf. Section 3 of the Norwegian Act relating to Interest on Overdue Payments.	Ja Nei
The HTU Regulations § 18 contains provisions concerning the allocation of legal costs. There are very strict requirements to get successful in claiming compensation for any costs (eg. legal fees) in addition to processing fee, and such costs are therefore awarded relatively rare. The other party must pay NOK ............... in other case costs.	Ja Nei
