# Compensation for Wrongful Termination

## Definition

If a landlord terminates your lease without valid grounds or without following formal requirements, you may be entitled to compensation. This can cover moving costs, rent difference, and in some cases non-economic damages.

Wrongful termination exists if the landlord lacks valid grounds, didn't inform about the right to contact the Rent Tribunal, or didn't meet the notice period's formal requirements.

## Key points

- Right to compensation for termination without valid grounds
- Can cover: moving costs, rent difference, non-economic damages
- Formal requirement errors can invalidate termination
- Reviewed by the Rent Tribunal or district court
- Time limits apply — act quickly after wrongful termination

## Practical tip

If you've received a termination you believe is wrongful: refer to the Rent Tribunal immediately. You have the right to stay during the review. Save all communication with the landlord.
