Article 17 of Tenancy Law

English translation

The owner of the expropriated property shall be deemed a tenant if he personally occupies or uses it. In this case, the rental value of the property shall be determined by the rent for comparable property, and the owner shall not be required to pay rent unless he has received the valuation amount in full. If, however, the property is leased to a third party, the relationship between the owner and the tenant shall remain in effect until the owner has received at least half of the valuation amount. In all cases, the owner's connection with the property shall cease as of the date on which he is formally served with notice to vacate.
Arabic original
يعد في حكم المستأجر مالك العين المنزوعة ملكيتها إذا كان شاغلا أو مستغلا لها بنفسه وتحدد القيمة الايجارية للعين في هذه الحالة بأجر مثلها ولا يجب على المالك أداء الاجرة الا إذا استوفى مبلغ التثمين كاملا. أما إذا كانت العين مؤجرة للغير تظل العلاقة قائمة بين المالك والمستأجر حتى يستوفى المالك على الاقل نصف مبلغ التثمين. وفي جميع الاحوال تنقطع صلة المالك بالعين من تاريخ انذاره رسميا بالإخلاء.
