The rule of article 1051, subparagraph d), of the Civil Code is the expiry of the lessee&#8217;s death, unless a convention is to the contrary. But in the housing lease, article 1106 removes this expiry if a spouse with a residence in the leased person survives, who has in fact united for more than a year or a person in a common economy for more than a year. In the non-hospital lease subject to the Civil Code, article 1113 determines even if the contract does not expire.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>My tenant&#8217;s partner says he keeps the contract. are you entitled?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"alg-a\">If the contract is subject to the Civil Code, article 1106, no. 1, subparagraph b), requires a de facto union for more than a year. In contracts prior to the NRAU, article 57, no. 1, subparagraph b), is more demanding: a de facto union for more than two years and residency in the leased for more than a year. In both cases, there is no transmission if the interested party has another house, owned or rented, in the geographic area defined by law.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long do I have to wait to recover the property if there is no transmission?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"alg-a\">six months.

Document the damages and seek legal advice.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What if the lease is from a store or an office?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"alg-a\">In contracts subject to the Civil Code, article 1113 determines that the lease does not expire due to the death of the lessee, and the successors may resign from the transfer within three months. In the old contracts covered by article 58 of the NRAU, the lease ends with the death of the primitive tenant, unless there is a successor who for more than three years has exercised a liberal profession or explore commercial establishment in the leased joint with him, who must communicate the willingness to continue the exploitation in the three months after the decision.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does the transfer change the income or term of the contract?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"alg-a\">In the Civil Code regime, no: the transferee succeeds in the contract as it is.
