The Court has emphasized that a tenant\u2019s repeated failure to pay rent, even if the debt is subsequently paid off, can still justify the termination of the lease agreement based on a breach of contractual obligations. This is particularly relevant in cases of systematic non-payment of rent, which is considered a significant violation of the contract under Ukrainian law.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the SC has clarified that partial non-payment (underpayment) of rent, while not falling under the provisions of the Land Code for complete non-payment, may still lead to contract termination if the underpayment is deemed \u201csubstantial\u201d under Civil Code regulations. The court did not provide specific thresholds but noted that the determination of what constitutes a substantial underpayment should be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the material impact on the landlord\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<p>This ruling stresses the importance for both landlords and tenants to carefully monitor and adhere to payment schedules to avoid costly legal consequences. Landlords are advised to assess whether a tenant&#8217;s breach is substantial enough to warrant contract termination, while tenants should be cautious of repeated delays or underpayments to avoid jeopardizing their lease agreements.<\/p>\n<p>The full version of the article is available in Ukrainian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/uk\/analytics\/exclusive\/the-grand-chamber-of-the-supreme-court-insignificant-underpayment-is-not-a-ground-for-termination-of-land-lease-agreement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0412\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u041f\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0430 \u0412\u0435\u0440\u0445\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0421\u0443\u0434\u0443 (\u0434\u0430\u043b\u0456 \u2013 \u0412\u041f \u0412\u0421) \u0443 \u0441\u0432\u043e\u0457\u0439 \u041f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0434 20.11.2024 \u0443 \u0441\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0456 \u2116 918\/391\/23 (\u0434\u0430\u043b\u0456 \u2013 \u041f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430) \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e \u0432\u0456\u0434\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u0438\u043b\u0430, \u0430 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e \u043a\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0442\u0438\u0437\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u0432\u0438\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043a\u0438 \u0412\u0435\u0440\u0445\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0421\u0443\u0434\u0443 \u0449\u043e\u0434\u043e \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0456\u0440\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0443 \u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0434\u0438 \u0437\u0435\u043c\u043b\u0456 \u043e\u043a\u0440\u0435\u043c\u043e \u0443 \u0432\u0438\u043f\u0430\u0434\u043a\u0430\u0445: \u043f\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u043d\u0435\u0441\u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0434\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0435\u0436\u0456\u0432; \u043a\u043e\u043b\u0438 \u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0434\u0430\u0440 \u0441\u043f\u043b\u0430\u0447\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0432 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0456 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0435\u0436\u0456 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e (\u043d\u0435 \u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u0441\u044f\u0437\u0456); \u043a\u043e\u043b\u0438 \u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0434\u0430\u0440 \u0441\u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0432 \u0437\u0430\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0433\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16069,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-25618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exclusive","tag-zemelni-pytannya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25618"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16069"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25618"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25687,"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25618\/revisions\/25687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmp.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
