What's prohibited

  • Terms causing significant imbalance in consumer contracts contrary to good faith

    The Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC) renders unfair terms in consumer contracts non-binding. Terms that have not been individually negotiated and cause a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations to the detriment of the consumer are deemed unfair. The Annex to the Directive provides an indicative list of unfair terms.

  • Waiver of mandatory tenant protections under national law

    Most EU member states have mandatory tenant protection laws that cannot be contracted away, including security of tenure, rent regulation, habitability standards, and eviction protections. The Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC) may also apply to lease terms that have not been individually negotiated.
