L. Paul Bremer, Coalition Provisional Authority

“ The remedy of eviction under Article 17, Paragraph 1 of the Law of Estate Lease, as
amended by Article 10 of Law No. (56) of 2000, allowing landlords to evict tenants
who fail to pay rent when due, is suspended for failures to pay the rent due for any
period during the months of April to December 2003 inclusive.
2) Tenants remain obligated to pay rent as it becomes due. Tenants who fail to pay rent
when due violate their contractual obligations. ”

“ Article 15, Paragraph 3 (A) (56) of 2000 is amended to provide that leases in
existence for 12 or more years shall not be terminated, at the instance of the
landlord, in the absence of other reasons authorized by law, before 16 October
2004. ”
