Article 1306

In case of expropriation of a rented, leased or letted shop, the renter, hirer or lessee or in case of legal sub-rent, sublease or sub-let his renter or lessee will receive full indemnification. When ascertaining the indemnification the fact that the rent or lease might have ended before the agreed term is taken into account.

In case of expropriation of another kind of rented, leased or letted immovable property, the renter, hirer or lessee shall receive an indemnification equal to the sum of two years rent if according to the contract it would normally have lasted at least one year from publication of the declaration of public utility in the Gazette of Eritrean Law.

No indemnification can be claimed from the expropriating authority if the contract was entered into after publication in the Gazette of Eritrean Law unless it is proven that neither parties to the contract could possibly have known of said publication.
