Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3257

Stipulation in a lease that it terminates only after one party gives notice to the other. Its meaning. The lease terminates when such notice is given by the person granted that right. Absence of such a provision in the lease terms. Its implication. That right is established for each party to the contract. - Notice of the desire to terminate the lease upon expiry of its term. A unilateral legal act. Its effect. Termination of the lease relationship from the date of its service. A tenant who nevertheless continues to enjoy the leased property without the landlord's consent is deemed a usurper. Remaining with the landlord's knowledge and without objection is deemed renewal of the former lease for an indefinite period. - Notice to vacate. A presumption that the intention of the contracting party giving it is not directed toward tacit renewal. The burden of proving the contrary rests on the person asserting it.
