I rent an apartment by the room and I want to recover it. What do I do to not renew the three tenants?

A landlord wants to stop renting out a property by the room and use it for personal purposes, but is unsure about the procedure under new regulations. The property is currently rented to three people, and the landlord must wait until the end of the contract term to take back the rooms. To terminate the agreements, the landlord must notify each tenant formally, specifying the exact date they must vacate the room.
If the contracts were made month-to-month or without a fixed duration, the agreement can be ended at the end of the paid month. New regulations, which came into effect on October 8, 2026, may consider partial rental contracts as habitual housing, but this does not apply to contracts signed before that date.
