Retail property lease agreement with appendices

Questioner

A lease agreement for a retail property entered into on November 22, 2005. On August 24, 2015, an addendum was drawn up with the agreements made that took effect on April 1, 2015. Deviating from the concluded lease agreement of November 22, 2005. The following agreements are: -rental period concluded for a period of 1 year, being from April 1, 2015 to April 1, 2016 -the rental period will be automatically extended by 1 year after that period unless the tenant cancels the rental in writing no later than 3 months before the end of the rental period. (no later than January 1) The store has been sold several times and the last investors were not in possession of these attached appendices. According to them, there is a notice period of one year instead of 3 months because after the contract expired, it went to an indefinite period. But it is established on paper that the contract is automatically extended by 1 year. So what is the conclusion? Do you have an answer for me?

Lawyer

For lease agreements for commercial premises such as retail premises, the Netherlands has specific rules. According to the law, the lease agreement is automatically extended for the same period after the expiration of the fixed term (normally five years). If the tenant wants to terminate, this must be done at least one year in advance. The situation you describe concerns a special agreement between you and the previous owner of the property that deviates from the standard legal rules. According to this agreement, the lease would be automatically extended every year, unless you cancel in writing three months before the end of the lease period. If this additional agreement is properly documented and signed, it could serve as evidence of this agreement. However, the new owners of the property believe that the standard legal rules apply. The final answer to your question depends on a number of legal nuances and it may be advisable to seek legal advice from a specialist lawyer. This can be a complex situation, where both contract law and tenancy law can apply. A specialized lawyer can better inform you about your rights and obligations in this situation.
