Art. 272 Extension of the lease I. Tenant’s entitlement
1 The tenant may request the extension of a fixed-term or open-ended lease where termination of the lease would cause a degree of hardship for him or his family that cannot be justified by the interests of the landlord.
2 When weighing the respective interests, the competent authority has particular regard to:a. the circumstances in which the lease was contracted and the terms of the lease;b. the duration of the lease;c. the personal, family and financial circumstances of the parties, as well as their conduct;d. any need that the landlord might have to use the premises for himself, his family members or his in-laws and the urgency of such need;e. the conditions prevailing on the local market for residential and commercial premises.
3 Where the tenant requests a second extension, the competent authority must also consider whether the tenant has done everything that might reasonably be expected of him to mitigate the hardship caused by the notice of termination.
