Termination of fixed-term tenancy

    吳澤源 對 劉建華

    Citation
    [2025] HKLdT 35
    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDPD551/2025

    The Tribunal found no concluded renewal: the tenant's request for a rent-free week was a counter-offer that terminated the landlord's earlier proposal, subsequent communications were ambiguous or silent and did not amount to acceptance, therefore the fixed-term tenancy expired on 5 February 2025 and the landlord validly notified repossession; the respondent's proposed appeal had no real prospect of success so leave was refused and no stay granted.
