Ruling summary
An eviction claim over commercial premises in the Emek Hefer industrial zone used as a veterinary clinic. Against the background of a dispute over municipal-tax rates, the tenant cancelled cheques and paid reduced rent on its own initiative. The court held that the lease excludes any right of set-off, that the tenant took the law into its own hands and fundamentally breached the lease, which sufficed to grant the claim, and ordered the premises vacated within six months. The firm represented the plaintiff, the property owner. (Netanya Magistrates' Court, CC 60682-12-21, 9.2.2024)
