Amendment to Act No. 116/1990, Coll., on lease and sublease of commercial premises

In the case of a lease agreed upon for entrepreneurial purposes, the lease agreement must newly contain information on the type of business carried out on the leased commercial premises. If the lessee wishes to change the type of business and if such change significantly affects the use of the commercial premises, the lessee may do so only subject to the lessor’s previous consent, unless agreed otherwise. The lessee’s failure to do so constitutes grounds for the lessor’s notice of termination, unless agreed otherwise. Neither the lessee nor the lessor may terminate the lease on the grounds of change in ownership of the building in which the leased commercial premises are located, unless agreed otherwise. In the case of the lessee’s dissolution as a legal entity, the lease newly terminates only if such legal entity was dissolved without a legal successor, unless agreed otherwise. (Effective as of October 19, 2005.)
