The participants of the battle agreed that by observing the norms of lease relations stipulated by law, the parties to the contract have the right to regulate legal relations based on the principles of freedom of contract, prohibition of conflicting relationships, compliance with the provisions of the contract, because the parties can always agree on a controversial issue.
Svitlana Renkas noted that if the procedure is prescribed in the contract and observed, no conflicts should arise. “Lease legal relations are regulated by both civil and commercial law, therefore, based on legislation, a conflict of law enforcement may arise, in particular, regarding the content of the lease agreement. In my opinion, the legal construction of a lease agreement is an institution of a civil law, in particular, law of obligations, and shall regulate relations between the parties, based on the principles of law: freedom of contract, its reasonableness and fairness, which correspond to obligations, in particular, the boundaries of such freedom”, the head of the legal department (residents) Arricano is convinced. “So, the right to violate the provisions of the civil law in a lease agreement and to regulate them at one’s own discretion extends to the economic agreement, since the contractual legal relations in the Economic Code are regulated taking into account the principle of equality, freedom to express one’s will and material independence of the participants in the relations.”
