Termination of the Lease Agreement Halfway Results in Losing 2 Months' Rent, Right?

I rented out my house with a prepayment for 3 months. After just one month, the tenant decided not to continue renting and is requesting a refund. Am I only required to return the deposit, while the rent for the remaining 2 months that the tenant did not stay is mine to keep? This provision is not included in the rental agreement.

Based on the provisions of Article 472 of the Civil Code 2015:

A property lease agreement is an agreement between the parties, whereby the lessor delivers the property to the lessee for use within a certain period, and the lessee is obligated to pay rent.

The housing lease agreement and lease agreement for other purposes are carried out according to the provisions of this Code, the Housing Law, and other relevant laws.

Regarding the right to unilaterally terminate the lease agreement, it is applied according to Clause 3, Article 132 of the Housing Law 2014. Specifically:

The lessee has the right to unilaterally terminate the housing lease agreement if the lessor commits one of the following acts:

+ Fails to repair the house when there is severe damage;

+ Unreasonably increases the house rent or increases rent without prior notice to the lessee as agreed;

+ When the right to use the house is restricted due to the interests of a third party.

According to the information provided by you, none of the above cases apply when the lessee unilaterally terminates the lease agreement with you. Therefore, if the unilateral termination of the lease agreement causes damage, compensation must be made according to the provisions of the law.

However, in this case, you did not mention any damages caused by the unilateral termination of the lease agreement by the lessee, and the lease agreement also does not address this issue. Therefore, there is no basis for you to request the lessee to compensate for 2 months' rent.

Sincerely!
