According to the Judgment of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic File No. 28 Cdo 270/2019 dated 02 April 2019, even according to the legislation valid as of 1 January 2014, a tenant is not obliged to pay rent to the new owner of the leased property until the tenant is notified of the change in title by the former owner or until the change is demonstrated to the tenant by the transferee. Any rent sent by the tenant to the former landlord prior to such moment cannot be deemed a transfer lacking legal cause. Such payment of rent (due for any period following the transfer of title) to the former owner results in – unless agreed otherwise between the transferor and the transferee – unjust enrichment on the part of the former owner, who must pay such rent to the new owner, who assumes the position of landlord at the moment the title is acquired.
