The tenant's rights under the provisions of this Act are valid against anyone without registration. The same applies to agreements on advance payment of rent, deposits, security deposits, etc., when these amounts do not exceed ½ year's rent in total.

Stk. 2.Upon termination of the tenancy, the tenant's claims under subsection 1 must be asserted by filing a lawsuit within 1 year from the termination date, if they are to be enforceable against an owner other than the one who owned the property when the claim arose.

Stk. 3.A tenant who has acquired extended rights by agreement, such as agreed non-terminability or the right of transfer, may require the agreement to be registered according to the Registration Act.
