The reason for this is the so-called order to vacate the property, which can be issued by the court. “In it, the tenant is ordered to vacate the apartment or house within fifteen days from the delivery of the order and pay the costs of the proceedings,” Ministry of Justice spokesman Vladimír Řepka told Novinkám. At the same time, the defendant tenant can file a so-called resistance against the eviction.
Of course, it has its conditions. “In order for the proposal to issue an eviction order to be successful, it is necessary for the tenant to use the apartment illegally even after the end of the lease, for the two-month period for submitting a motion to the court to review the legality of the notice to be passed, and also for the landlord to call on the tenant to vacate the apartment fourteen days before submitting the motion,” stated attorney Kateřina Obertová from Endors law firm.
If the tenant does not object, even though the eviction order has been properly served, the owner of the apartment or house can proceed with executive or judicial eviction.
“But the tenant cannot write in the statement that he has nowhere to move out or that he is sick. There must be a valid reason, for example that the tenancy was not properly terminated,” said Lenka Veselá, president of the Association of Tenants of the Czech Republic.
