A property owner who notifies a tenant when their rental agreement expires that they do not intend to renew it and calls on the tenant to surrender the property, is likely to face refusal and non-payment of the rent as mesne profits. Taking advantage of having possession of the property until the trial of the landlord’s lawsuit for its recovery, the former tenant seizes the property and does not pay any amount.
The owner’s loss in such cases can be large and increase month by month, creating an unbearable situation for them, especially if they have obligations, rely on the income as rent or the former tenant is not a creditworthy person.
