Extremisms-express for unpaid rentals, what changes since May 1st
Since 1 May 2026 a new accelerated procedure for evictions due to unpaid rents has been applied. Payment and return orders will now be issued by certified lawyers instead of judges, according to a Justice Ministry decision. Lawyers should have four years of experience and special training, while having 20 days to issue an order. The fee is set at EUR 400 for a payment order and EUR 300 for an order to repay a lease. At the same time, the full activation of the Renter Solvency Register is expected within 2026, which will assess the consequence of tenants through crossings with ADE.
