Frequently asked questions

How much can be deducted from my deposit?

Only the actual, reasonably foreseeable loss caused by your breach. The landlord may not retain any penalty (Contract Law, Cap. 149, ss. 73–75).

How much can my rent go up?

For rent-controlled homes, no more than 6% over the two-year period 22 Apr 2023–21 Apr 2025, fixed by Council of Ministers decree (Rent Control Law 23/1983, Section 8).

What am I owed for an unfair dismissal?

Compensation of up to two years' salary, and never less than the redundancy payment you would have been due (Termination of Employment Law 24/1967, Article 3).

What is the minimum wage in Cyprus?

€1,088 gross a month for full-time work — but only after six months of continuous employment; a lower rate applies during the first six months (Minimum Wage Law, Cap. 183, Decree).

Can a private seller exclude all liability?

Not the title warranty: the seller is liable that they may sell and that the item is free of undisclosed charges — this holds even in an 'as is' sale and cannot be excluded (Sale of Goods Law 10(I)/1994, s. 15).

Can I revoke a power of attorney I granted?

Yes, but not retroactively: acts the attorney has already carried out remain valid (Contract Law, Cap. 149, s. 164). It also ends automatically on revocation, death, unsoundness of mind or insolvency of either side (s. 161).
