The tenant has been in arrears of rent and has incurred more than 100 yuan of electricity bills that have not been paid, the mobile phone is turned off and WeChat is not returned, and the luggage is still in the room. Can the landlord dispose of the tenant's belongings on their own?
——Litigation lawyer Zhang Ying: If there is no agreement in the lease contract, it is not recommended that the landlord dispose of it by himself. Article 722 of the Civil Code If the lessee fails to pay or delays in paying the rent without justifiable reasons, the lessor may request the lessee to pay within a reasonable period of time; If the tenant defaults on the rent in bad faith, the landlord can terminate the lease contract and repossess the premises. However, on the premise that the house is not vacated, try not to open the door without permission, so as not to cause disputes such as property loss. If the landlord sues to rescind the tenancy contract, pay the rent arrears and repossess the premises, the court may award in absentia if the tenant cannot be contacted.
