9. Delay and non-delivery - buyers' rights and time limit for lodging a claim

If the lessor fails to deliver the goods or delivers them late in accordance with the agreement between the parties, and this is not due to the lessee or circumstances on the part of the lessee, the lessee may, according to the rules in Chapter 5 of the Consumer Sales Act, withhold the rent, demand performance, terminate the agreement and/or claim compensation from the lessor, depending on the circumstances.


In case of a claim for default remedies, the notification should be in writing (e.g. e-mail) for evidential purposes.

Fulfilment

the tenant may maintain the tenancy and demand performance from the landlord. However, the tenant may not demand performance if there is an obstacle that the landlord cannot overcome, or if performance would cause such great inconvenience or expense to the landlord that it is substantially disproportionate to the tenant's interest in the landlord's performance. Should the difficulties disappear within a reasonable time, the tenant may nevertheless demand performance.
The tenant loses his or her right to demand performance if he or she waits unreasonably long to make the demand.


Lifting

If the lessor fails to deliver the goods at the time of delivery, the lessee shall request the lessor to deliver within a reasonable additional period for performance. If the lessor fails to deliver the goods within the additional period, the lessee may terminate the lease.


However, the tenant can terminate the lease immediately if the landlord refuses to deliver the goods. The same applies if delivery at the agreed time was decisive for the conclusion of the contract, or if the tenant has informed the landlord that the time of delivery is decisive.


If the goods are delivered after the additional time limit set by the consumer or after the time of delivery that was decisive for the conclusion of the contract, a claim for rescission must be brought within a reasonable time after the buyer became aware of the delivery.


Compensation

The lessee may claim compensation for any loss suffered as a result of the delay. However, this does not apply if the lessor proves that the delay is due to an obstacle beyond the lessor's control, the consequences of which could not reasonably have been taken into account at the time of the contract, avoided or overcome.

10. Termination - Termination

If the rent is agreed per day or week without a predetermined term, the agreement can be terminated by the tenant with 1 day's notice. If the rent is agreed per month, one week's notice. Otherwise, the rental period expires when the rental payment ceases. If the rental object is not treated satisfactorily, GHL Utleie AS may terminate the agreement with immediate effect and collect the rental object at the tenant's expense. The same applies if the rent and any supplements are not paid by the due date, the tenant is declared bankrupt or demonstrably becomes or admits to being insolvent, or if the agreement is otherwise materially breached.

11. Defects in the goods - tenant's rights and time limit for complaints

If there is a defect in the goods, the lessee must notify the lessor within a reasonable time after it was discovered or should have been discovered that he or she wishes to invoke the defect. Complaints to the landlord should be made in writing or by email post@ghlutleie.no.


Lifting

If the goods have not been corrected or replaced, the tenant can also terminate the lease if the defect is not insignificant.

12. Enforcement

If the rent (and/or any supplements) is not paid, the tenant agrees that eviction can be requested pursuant to section 13-2, second paragraph, of the Enforcement Act


a). It must be stated in the notice pursuant to section 4-18 of the Enforcement Act that extradition can be avoided if the rent with interest and costs is paid before enforcement is carried out. Similarly, the tenant agrees, pursuant to section 13-2, second paragraph b) of the Enforcement Act, that extradition may be demanded when the lease term has expired, if the lease has been agreed for a specific period.
