2. The Lease
2.1) The Lessor leases to the Lessee the Leased Premises, suitable for the storage of Movable Property and specified in the Lease Agreement, under the basic terms and conditions set forth therein.
The detailed rules of the lease are contained in these GTC.
2.2) The lease shall remain in effect from the Commencement Date specified in the Lease Agreement until the expiration of the fixed term or for an indefinite period, in accordance with the provisions of the agreement entered into between the parties.
Until the termination of the lease in any manner, the Tenant shall be obligated to pay the rent. After the termination of the lease, until the Leased Property is vacated and returned to the Lessor’s possession, the Lessee is obligated to pay a daily usage fee of 200 HUF/m² + VAT, but at least twice the base rate applicable for the period. In addition, the Lessor may claim compensation for its damages and any costs that may arise—as detailed in Section 12.5 without limitation. If the amount paid in fulfillment of the monetary debt is insufficient to settle the entire debt, it shall—unless the Tenant has provided otherwise and no clear intention to the contrary can be discerned—be applied first to the costs, then to the interest, and finally to the principal debt (within which, primarily to the principal debt that has previously become due).
2.3) During the term of the lease, the Landlord shall provide certain services to the Tenant, while the Parties shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations set forth in the rules governing the lease.
2.4) The Tenant may not sublet the Leased Property or transfer its use to a third party. In the event of a breach of this provision, the Landlord may terminate the lease with immediate effect by way of extraordinary termination, and the Tenant shall be liable for damages.
2.5) The basic terms of the lease as set forth in the Lease Agreement may be amended only in writing and in advance. The Landlord is entitled to unilaterally amend the General Terms and Conditions and the House Rules, which shall be posted on the premises of the building/property containing the Leased Premises, indicating the effective date of the changes. If the Tenant does not agree with the amendment, the Tenant is entitled to terminate the lease agreement extraordinarily within 30 days of the posting of the amendment; however, in this case, the Tenant may not claim compensation or the costs arising from the termination of the lease agreement from the Landlord.
2.6) Placing Prohibited Items in the Premises constitutes a material breach of contract, and the Landlord may terminate the lease with immediate effect, take the necessary measures to remedy the breach, including entering the Premises, remove and destroy the items without notifying the Tenant, and notify the competent authorities. The Tenant shall bear the costs arising from such necessary coercive measures, and the Landlord shall not be liable for any resulting damage, including any damage to the Personal Property placed in the Premises. If the Tenant causes damage to a third party by placing Prohibited Items, the Tenant is obligated to pay for such damage; the Landlord is not liable for such damages to third parties either. In the event of the placement of Prohibited Personal Property, the Landlord may claim three times the otherwise payable Rent as a penalty from the Tenant, provided it can be determined how long the Prohibited Personal Property was in the Premises. If this duration cannot be determined, the Landlord is entitled to claim a penalty from the Tenant equivalent to three months’ Rent, which is due within 3 days of the notice.
2.7) Prohibited Items include the storage of explosive, radioactive, toxic, or other substances harmful to health; money; jewelry; any food; living organisms; and any other items obtained in violation of the law, including, in particular, chemicals, gases, fuels, corrosive substances, environmentally hazardous materials, radioactive and biological materials, garbage, waste, and substances that emit odors or sounds, weapons and ammunition, including their components, furs, works of art, irreplaceable personal property, personal property of sentimental value to the Tenant, securities, vehicles in a hazardous condition, hazardous materials, and any personal property or materials whose possession is prohibited by law.
3. Use of the Leased Property
3.1) From the Effective Date of the lease, the Tenant shall have exclusive use of the Leased Property. The Tenant may take possession of the Leased Property only after the Lease Agreement and these GTC have been signed, but no earlier than the Commencement Date of the lease, and provided that the first month’s rent has been paid.
3.2) If the Commencement Date of the lease and the signing of the Lease Agreement and these GTC fall on the same day, the handover of the Leased Property to the Tenant shall be deemed to have taken place. If the Lessor is unable, for reasons beyond its control, to place the Premises in the Tenant’s possession by the Commencement Date of the tenancy, it may offer another similar Premises under similar terms. If the Tenant does not accept this, the tenancy shall terminate and the Parties shall be released from their obligations.
3.3) The Leased Property shall be in an unlocked condition on the Commencement Date of the lease, at which time the Tenant shall be entitled to install a lock and place their personal belongings there. The Lessor shall ensure the conditions for locking the Premises, but the Tenant shall procure the lock at their own expense. In the event that the Tenant fails to lock the Premises at any time, the Lessor shall not be liable for any resulting damage. If the Tenant loses the keys to the lock and/or it becomes necessary to cut the lock, this may only be done by the Landlord, based on a written record or the Tenant’s unilateral statement, and at the Tenant’s expense.
3.4) In order to gain access to the property/building containing the Leased Premises, the Lessor shall provide the Tenant with a card owned by the Lessor during the term of the lease. In the event of loss or damage to the card, the costs of replacement shall be borne by the Tenant. The Lessor assumes no liability for any damages arising from the loss of the card, but the Lessee is obligated to report it to the Lessor immediately, who will invalidate it as soon as possible. The Lessee may only hand over the card to persons who have been registered in the Lease Agreement as authorized to enter.
3.5) The Landlord shall bear no liability whatsoever if the Tenant has granted access to the Premises to persons listed or not listed in the Lease Agreement, or if outsiders have gained access to the Premises due to the loss or theft of the key or card.
4. Provision of Alternative Premises by the Landlord
4.1) The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord may, if necessary, provide the Tenant with alternative premises. Such a measure may be taken if the Landlord deems it necessary to carry out planned repairs, maintenance, or renovations to the building/property that includes the Leased Premises, during which the Landlord would be unable to ensure the proper use of the Leased Premises by the Tenant without disproportionate difficulty. In such cases, the Lessor shall provide the Lessee with another Leased Premises with similar characteristics on a temporary or permanent basis.
4.2) The Lessor shall notify the Lessee of the need to provide an alternative Premises, granting the Lessee a 10-day period to inspect the new Premises and to declare whether they accept or reject it. If, within this 10-day period, the Tenant declares that they do not accept the alternative Rental Property offered as a replacement, the lease agreement shall terminate on the last day of the rental month, and the Tenant shall be obligated to remove their personal belongings and return the Rental Property to the Lessor in a vacated, clean condition to the Lessor.
4.3) If the Tenant has not made a statement within 10 days, it shall be deemed that the Tenant has terminated the Lease Agreement, and the tenancy shall terminate on the last day of the Lease Month, and the Landlord may proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Lease Agreement and the GTC regarding the vacating of the premises and the claim for rent.
4.4) If the Tenant accepts the new Premises, the Personal Property must be moved to the new location at a time agreed upon with the Landlord. The Landlord shall provide the necessary transportation equipment for the move.
4.5) The Tenant acknowledges that if, due to a lack of space, the Tenant is moved into a storage unit larger than the one requested and pays Rent for fewer square meters than the actual floor area of the Leased Premises, as soon as a smaller storage unit of the appropriate size becomes available, the Tenant is obligated to move to it with the Lessor’s assistance within 3 days of the Lessor’s request. If the Tenant fails to fulfill this obligation, the Tenant shall be required to pay rent based on the actual floor area of the Leased Premises previously occupied by the Tenant. 4.6) The Lease Agreement, any amendments thereto, and the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions shall also apply to the new Leased Premises.
5. Opening of the Leased Premises by the Lessor if Necessary
5.1) If necessary, the Lessor may remove any lock or latch placed on the Leased Premises by the Lessee, open the Leased Premises, and remain there for as long as the Lessor deems necessary. Such a necessary case shall be deemed to exist if the Leased Property, its building, or the Tenant’s or third parties’ personal property is at risk of damage, or if it is absolutely necessary for immediate maintenance or repair work. The Landlord may also take such action if the Landlord determines that the Personal Property stored in the Leased Premises endangers the building/property or the Personal Property of other Tenants, or if the Landlord discovers Prohibited Personal Property therein, or if the Tenant causes damage with the Personal Property stored there. 5.2) In such a case, the Landlord shall notify the Tenant as soon as possible of the opening of the Leased Premises, the reason therefor, and the measures taken by the Landlord, as well as the actions expected of the Tenant. If the Tenant fails to cooperate with the Landlord, the Landlord may terminate the lease with immediate effect by way of extraordinary termination, and the provisions regarding termination shall apply.
6. Termination of the Lease
6.1.) Termination
6.1.1. In the case of a fixed-term lease agreement, the lease relationship shall terminate upon the expiration of the fixed-term lease period, or based on a written agreement between the Parties to that effect, or by extraordinary termination, at which time the Lessee’s right to use the Leased Property shall cease and the rules governing the lease relationship shall apply.
If the Parties enter into a fixed-term contract providing for the option of ordinary termination, then during the fixed term, subject to any restrictions specified in the contract, the Parties may exercise ordinary termination exclusively in writing. The Tenant is obligated to proceed with ordinary termination in such a way that the written notice of termination reaches the Landlord (via email or postal mail) by the date of the rent billing (the “billing period” specified in the individual contract). The Tenant—provided the notice of termination has been communicated to the Landlord in accordance with the above—must vacate, clear out, and return the leased property to the Landlord by the next renewal date. If the leased property is not vacated, cleared out, and returned by the effective date, the Lessor is entitled to proceed in accordance with the provisions of these GTC. The Lessor is entitled to terminate the contract with 30 days’ notice effective as of the effective date. In such cases, the contract shall terminate on the renewal date specified above.
6.1.2. Both parties are entitled to terminate the lease agreement by ordinary notice during the term of the lease. The Tenant is obligated to ensure that, in the event of ordinary termination, their written notice of termination is received by the Landlord (via email or postal mail) by the date of the rent billing cycle (“billing period”). Provided that the notice of termination has been duly communicated to the Landlord, the Tenant must vacate and clear out the leased property and return it to the Landlord by the next renewal date. If the leased property is not vacated, cleared out, and returned by the effective date, the Lessor is entitled to proceed in accordance with the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions. The Lessor is entitled to terminate the contract with 30 days’ notice effective as of the effective date.
In the case of a contract for an indefinite term, the legal relationship may also be terminated based on a written agreement between the Parties, or by extraordinary termination, at which point the Tenant’s right to use the Premises shall cease and the rules governing the tenancy relationship shall apply.
6.2) The Lessor—whether the contract is for a fixed or indefinite term—may terminate the lease agreement by extraordinary termination in the event of a material breach of contract by the Lessee, provided that the Lessee fails to remedy the breach within the deadline specified in the Lessor’s written notice. The Landlord may terminate the lease with immediate effect by extraordinary termination if doing so protects the Landlord, future Tenants, or third parties from any harm.
6.3) The Tenant may terminate the lease by extraordinary termination—whether the contract is for a fixed or indefinite term—if the Landlord unlawfully bars the Tenant from the Premises and/or does not allow the Tenant to enter the building/property of the Premises.
6.4) The Parties shall also be entitled to the right of extraordinary termination—whether the contract is for a fixed or indefinite term—if the breach of contract, while not classified as serious, results in the prescribed or intended use of the Premises being permanently impeded and the other party fails to remedy such breach within 8 days despite a written notice to do so.
6.5) On the date of termination of the lease, the Tenant shall return the Leased Property to the Landlord in an empty, clean condition, taking into account normal wear and tear, and in a state consistent with its condition at the time of handover, with all access points open. If the Tenant fails to return the Premises to the Landlord in the condition described above, the Landlord shall immediately remove any waste, trash, or Personal Belongings left behind, and the Tenant shall be obligated to pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The Tenant shall also bear the costs associated with the disposal of trash, waste, and personal belongings.
6.6) The Tenant is obligated to notify the Landlord of the vacating of the Premises and return the key card to the Landlord even if this occurs upon or before the expiration of the lease term and the Tenant has no outstanding debts to the Landlord.
6.7) In the event of termination of the lease agreement in any manner, the Tenant remains obligated to pay a daily usage fee of 200 HUF/m² + VAT, but at least twice the base rate, for as long as the Tenant’s personal property remains in the Leased Premises. Upon termination of the lease, the Lessor may, at its discretion, immediately clear out the storage unit. If, however, the Leased Premises are cleared out by the Lessor due to the Lessee’s breach of contract, the Lessee shall be obligated to pay a usage fee of 200 HUF/pallet or m²/day + VAT, for as long as the Lessor stores the Tenant’s personal belongings.
7. Provisions Regarding Rent and Payment
7.1) The Tenant is obligated to pay the rent specified in the Lease Agreement by the due date. If the Tenant fails to meet their payment obligation by the due date, the Landlord shall charge, for the period of delay, the current central bank base rate plus 8% in addition to the monthly rent. If the Tenant has paid the Landlord an amount exceeding the rent invoice or the current account balance, the Landlord shall, upon request, settle the overpayment in cash or refund it to the Tenant after deducting the bank transfer fee. The Tenant may claim a refund for overpayments of less than 3,000 HUF transferred by the Tenant within 30 days following the termination of the Tenant’s legal relationship. After the 30-day statute of limitations expires, the Tenant’s claim for a refund shall lapse, and the Landlord shall consider the overpayment a waived claim; by signing the contract, the Tenant irrevocably consents to this. The Tenant is obligated to pay the rent in accordance with these GTC and the provisions of the contract. In the event of a contract amendment, the Tenant is obligated to fulfill their rent payment obligation in a timely manner and in the appropriate amount. If the Lessee fails to comply with the provisions of this contract or its amended, consolidated version, the Lessor is entitled to terminate the contract, apply the legal consequences set forth in these GTC, and proceed accordingly.
7.2) Failure to meet the deadline for payment of rent shall constitute a material breach of the Lease Agreement. If the Tenant fails to pay the rent due and fulfill other payment obligations in full and on time, the Tenant shall forfeit the monthly gross rent amount established for them and shall be obligated to pay the base rate and other costs starting from the period affected by the delay. If the Tenant fails to fulfill their obligation to pay the rent, the Landlord shall set a grace period, along with a reminder fee of 2,000 HUF, and the closure of the leased property. The Tenant acknowledges that in the event of failure to meet the grace period specified in the Lease Agreement for the payment of the Rent, the Tenant shall be obligated to pay a one-time penalty of 30,000 HUF in addition to late payment interest. The obligation to pay the penalty arises separately for each instance of late payment of the Rent. The Tenant’s obligation to pay the late payment penalty becomes due upon the fruitless expiration of the payment deadline. In addition to the legal consequences of the termination of the Lease Agreement set forth in this section, shall be obligated to pay the Landlord—if the Landlord issues an invoice for such amounts—the cost of notifying the termination in the amount of 5,000 HUF, as well as the amount of the late payment penalty, concurrently with the notification of termination. The Tenant expressly acknowledges that it is not exempt from fulfilling this obligation in the event of the application of the provisions regarding the extension of the lease relationship as set forth in Section 7.5)
7.3) The Landlord may increase the Rent only if the fixed-term tenancy specified in the contract exceeds six months, or if the tenancy is extended beyond the period(s) specified in the Lease Agreement, or if the Tenant fails to meet their payment obligations. If the Rent is increased under the above conditions, the Landlord shall notify the Tenant in writing. If the Tenant does not accept this and notifies the Landlord accordingly, the lease shall terminate on the last day of the rental month, and the Parties shall be required to apply the rules governing termination.
7.4) If the Tenant does not object within 10 days of receiving the Landlord’s notice of a rent increase, the increase shall be deemed accepted, and the first day of the rental month following the 10th day.
7.5) The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord has 6 billing periods each month, as follows:
- Billing on the 5th of the month if the lease commencement date falls between the 12th and the 17th of the month,
Billing on the 10th of the month if the lease commencement date falls between the 18th and the 22nd of the month,
Billing on the 15th of the month if the start date of the lease falls between the 23rd and the 27th of the month,
Billing on the 20th of the month if the start date of the lease falls between the 28th of the month and the 1st of the following month,
Billing on the 25th if the start date of the lease falls between the 2nd and the 6th of the month,
Billing on the 30th if the start date of the lease falls between the 7th and the 11th of the month.
The billing periods listed above are to be understood as meaning that invoices are issued in advance in all cases; that is, for example, if the lease begins on December 3, the invoice for each month of the lease will be issued during the billing cycle on the 25th of the preceding month. Invoicing takes place during the first few days of each billing period. The Rent for the first Rental Month is due on the date the Lease Agreement is signed, either by cash payment or by advance bank transfer. Starting from the month following the first Rental Month, the Tenant is required to pay the Rent for the given rental month within 8 days of the invoice being issued. If the Tenant requests a lump-sum payment for the rent covering the rental period specified in Section 1 of the Agreement, an invoice will be issued for the total gross monthly rent broken down by month; thus, the Tenant will not receive any further monthly invoices during the billing period detailed above. If the Tenant’s request for extension is late and the start of the next rental period would precede the expiration of the 8-day payment deadline, the Landlord shall designate the first day of the next rental month as the payment deadline. If the tenancy agreement is extended—even by telephone— If the Lessee does not dispute the invoices issued on the basis of the extended lease agreement within 3 days of their issuance, the lease agreement between the Parties shall be deemed to have been extended. For the additional months of the extension, billing shall again be conducted in accordance with the previous billing period.
7.6) The Tenant is obligated to pay the due Rent in cash or by bank transfer, provided that it is credited to the Landlord’s account no later than the due date.
7.7) When paying the Rent, the invoice number issued to the Tenant must always be indicated (e.g., F-2020/0000). The Tenant shall bear the consequences and costs of any delayed accounting or collection notices resulting from failure to do so.
7.8) If the area of the Leased Property deviates by less than 15% from the area specified in the contract due to an administrative error, such deviation shall not constitute grounds for adjusting the Rent.
7.9) The Tenant shall be obligated to pay the Rent for the period during which the Leased Property is closed due to the Tenant’s conduct and until its forced eviction by the Landlord, or, if the lease relationship has terminated, a daily usage fee of 200 HUF/m² + VAT, but at least twice the base rate applicable for the period.
7.10) Following payment of the Tenant’s debt, the Lessor shall unlock the leased property within 120 hours, thereby lifting the lockout. The Tenant shall not be entitled to any claim for damages arising from the lockout.
8. Rights and Obligations of the Lessor
8.1) During the term of the lease, the Lessor is obligated to ensure the exclusive use of the Leased Property during its normal business hours and to provide the services necessary for access to the Leased Property’s building/premises (e.g., magnetic card system), and to commence troubleshooting and repairs within 120 hours in the event of a malfunction; however, the Lessor shall not be liable for damages to the Lessee due to the inability to use or the limitation of use during the period of the malfunction.
8.2) The Lessor cannot control the temperature of the Leased Property, so it will vary according to prevailing weather conditions. The Tenant is obligated to store their Personal Belongings with this in mind, meaning they may only store Personal Belongings that can withstand the adverse effects of weather and temperature fluctuations. The Landlord assumes no liability for damages resulting from temperature fluctuations or weather conditions.
8.3) At the Lessor’s discretion, the Lessor shall ensure the security and protection of the building/property containing the Leased Premises through manned security or an alarm/camera system.
8.4) The Lessor agrees to notify the Lessee as specified in the Lease Agreement and the GTC, as well as in necessary cases.
8.5) The Lessor agrees to replace lost or damaged cards at the Lessee’s expense.
9. Rights and Obligations of the Tenant
9.1) The Tenant is obligated to use the Premises for its intended purpose in compliance with the rules governing the lease. When using the Premises, the Tenant must act in such a way that his or her conduct does not cause damage or endanger life or property. The Tenant is obligated to notify the Landlord of any extraordinary circumstances occurring in the Leased Property or regarding the Movable Property located therein, in a timely and reasonable manner. The Tenant is liable for any damages arising from a failure to do so.
9.2) The Tenant is obligated to cooperate with the Landlord, i.e., to accept notifications and to make the necessary declarations and take the necessary measures within the specified time.
9.3) The Tenant is obligated to fulfill the Rent and all related payment obligations arising from the legal relationship.
9.4) The Tenant is obligated to immediately notify the Landlord of any changes to their residential address, registered office, or billing address. The Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting from incomplete or failed notifications.
10. Lessor’s Liability
10.1) The Lessor shall not be liable in the following cases: - if the damage resulted from the conduct of the Lessee or any other person within the Lessee’s sphere of influence, or from a breach of the rules governing the lease; - in all cases where the damage resulted from circumstances beyond its control, including, for example, force majeure, damage caused by criminal acts committed by other Tenants or third parties; - for damage caused by necessary actions taken in connection with the Leased Property due to the Tenant’s conduct; - for the temporary unavailability of equipment provided by the Lessor (e.g., elevator, forklift, magnetic card, etc.),
- and in all cases where the Lease Agreement, these GTC, or applicable law excludes the Lessor’s liability.
10.2) If an event occurs that would give rise to the Lessor’s liability for damages, the Lessee is obligated to notify the Lessor immediately, but no later than within 24 hours of becoming aware of it or on the next business day. If the Lessee fails to comply with the above notification obligation within the specified time limit, the Lessor shall be exempt from liability for damages.
10.3) If the Lessor is found liable for any damage incurred, such liability shall be limited to the amount of the Rent calculated for the relevant lease term, but in no event shall it exceed a maximum of 100,000 HUF. The Tenant is obligated to place the Personal Property in the Leased Premises in accordance with these liability limits.
10.4) The Landlord emphasizes that it does not have insurance for the Personal Property placed in the Leased Premises, but recommends that the Tenant obtain and maintain insurance for the Personal Property during the lease term.
10.5) The Lessor undertakes, however, to take out insurance on the building in which the Leased Premises are located and to maintain such insurance continuously throughout the lease term. This insurance is sufficient to cover the Lessor’s liability for damages arising from its liability for damages, which is imposed on the Lessor under civil law and pursuant to these GTC. However, the insurance taken out by the Lessor does not cover the personal property stored by the Lessee in the Leased Premises (personal property insurance).
11. Tenant’s Liability
11.1) The Tenant is liable for the following damages: - in the event of a breach of the rules governing the Lease, the Tenant is obligated to pay the Landlord for all damages and costs incurred; for damages and costs incurred due to the loss or theft of the access card; for damages caused to third parties; if, due to the Tenant’s activities, the authorities take action against the Landlord and impose sanctions, as well as in all cases where liability is established by the Lease Agreement, these GTC, or applicable law.
11.2) The Tenant places its Personal Property in the Leased Premises with the understanding that it is obligated to bear all risks associated with the Personal Property, as the Landlord does not insure them and assumes no obligation to directly protect the Personal Property. The Tenant therefore acknowledges that they bear the full risk in connection with the safekeeping and protection of the Personal Property and, in their own interest, may take out insurance to cover their own damages and damages arising from their civil liability if they deem it necessary.
12. Lien
12.1) The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord shall acquire a lien on all personal property located in the Leased Premises if the Tenant fails to pay the rent to the Landlord by the due date, or if the lease agreement between the parties is terminated, but the Tenant’s Movable Property has not been removed, resulting in the Landlord incurring a claim for a usage fee—as set forth in these GTC—or any other claim against the Tenant arising from the lease agreement (penalty, notice fee, eviction costs, etc.) against the Tenant. 12.2) If the Tenant places another person’s personal property in the Leased Premises, whether for consideration or as a favor, the Tenant is obligated to inform the Lessor that the Lessor shall have a lien on the personal property placed in the Leased Premises up to the amount of overdue rent and related charges.
12.3) In the event that the lien arises as described above, the Lessor shall be entitled to prevent the Lessee from opening the Leased Premises, whether by installing another lock and/or by barring the Lessee’s access to the building or property containing the Leased Premises.
12.4) In its demand notice setting an 8-day grace period for payment of the overdue Rent, the Landlord shall inform the Tenant that it may enforce its lien on all Personal Property located in the Premises as security for all claims against the Tenant.
12.5) If the Tenant fails to pay the arrears within this grace period, or in the event of termination of the lease—upon payment of the Rent arrears and/or usage fee, penalties, and reminder fees—the Tenant fails to remove the Movable Property, the Landlord may, at its discretion and at the Tenant’s expense, open the Leased Premises and sell the Movable Property in accordance with the requirements of commercial reasonableness, outside of judicial enforcement, privately or publicly, or may hand over the Personal Property to an auctioneer, or—in accordance with the rules of agency without authority—may remove it and, at its own discretion, store it in a common storage facility for a daily usage fee of 2,000 HUF/pallet/day + VAT until the Rent, and other claims. The Lessor shall thereafter retain the right, at its discretion, to sell the Movable Property or even to destroy it. The costs of destruction shall also be borne by the Lessee. In the event of enforcement of the lien, the Lessor shall first deduct the costs incurred in enforcing the lien from the proceeds received, then satisfy its claims—in the order specified in the Civil Code—and finally return the remaining amount to the Lessee. The Lessor is obligated to prepare a settlement statement following the sale in accordance with Section 5:135 of the Civil Code. The Tenant expressly acknowledges that if the Rent is not paid by the Tenant even after the grace period, the Landlord may incur, without limitation, the following costs, for example: the costs of a payment reminder—in the amount of 2,000 HUF—for late payment, the one-time or multiple penalty fees of 15,000 HUF specified above, usage fees, the costs of removal, loading costs, packaging costs, inventory preparation costs, etc. The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord may claim reimbursement of these costs in addition to the rent.
12.6) If the proceeds from the sale of the Movable Property as described above do not cover the Tenant’s arrears, the Landlord may continue to claim the outstanding amount from the Tenant.
12.7) As long as the Movable Property remains on the Premises, or the Lessor is required to arrange for its storage, in whole or in part, in the Lessor’s common or other storage facility, the Lessor may demand payment of a daily usage fee of 200 HUF/m² + VAT, but at least twice the base rate, as set forth in the Lease Agreement and these GTC.
12.8) Measures taken by the Lessor in connection with the enforcement of the lien shall be deemed to have resulted from the Lessee’s breach of contract; thus, the Lessor shall not be liable for any damages incurred in the meantime. In all other respects, the provisions of the Civil Code shall govern the enforcement of the lien.
12.9) The Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor’s enforcement of its lien is a right and not an obligation; that is, the Lessor is entitled, at its sole discretion, to enforce its lien as described above, to store the Movable Property, or, if the foregoing proves unsuccessful, to destroy it.
13. Notification of the Parties
13.1) The Parties may only provide notifications in writing, to the addresses specified in the Lease Agreement. The Lessor is required to send notices to the Lessee at the Lessee’s “notice address.” Notices to the Lessee may be sent in the forms that the Lessee has personally provided to the Lessor.
