What it provides

This decree temporarily, for the duration of the war, allows a judge hearing an eviction request for a residential property to grant the tenant up to six months to vacate. The tenant qualifies only if he has met his lease obligations and paid the rent for that period in advance, failing which he loses the grace period.
