Subject
The plaintiff seeks compensation for market rent from the date a prior judgment awarded rents under the lease until the filing of the present action. The expert used the lease-specified rent to estimate market-rent compensation, allocating the amount by the plaintiff's ownership shares and deducting sums the tenant paid corresponding to the plaintiff's share.
Summary
The expert's formula is: (market rent for the claimed period / number of the plaintiff's shares) - amount paid by the tenant from the contract rent. The calculation set out in the expert report is free of defect, and the court of appeals' conclusion on the correctness of this compensation calculation does not conflict with the law according to the provided points. This content is a general educational summary, not a judicial text or legal advice.
Practical significance
The summary indicates that relying on the contract-stated rent as the basis for assessing market-rent compensation—apportioned by ownership shares and reduced by tenant payments for those shares—is an acceptable methodological approach when applied using the stated formula, offering a clear calculation framework for similar compensation claims.
