Abstract

One of the current authorities in necessary contracts, including lease contract, is the authority of loss. The loss that is based on the civil law and the most jurists' viewpoints is the loss that exists during the conclusion of the contract (simultaneous loss), and the loss that occurs after the conclusion of the contract and at the stage of fulfilling the obligations has received less attention from the experts. Since the lease contract is one of the contracts, in which the obligations of the parties are fulfilled over time and since all the obligations are not considered fulfilled only due to landlord withdrawing from the object of the lease, it is important to examine the authority of loss occurring in the lease contract, because it is possible that any change in circumstances may make the parties lose their balance after or at the time the contract has been concluded. Based on arguments such as the no-harm principles and the implicit condition, as well as the intellectuals' viewpoints and finally compulsion, the author of this paper claims that the occurrence of loss during the conclusion of the lease contract like the existence of loss at the time of concluding the contract can cause the right of authority for the party that has lost something in the contract. Such a solution would both help the efficiency of the current trade and economic system and it is in line with the principles accepted by the Iranian legal system.
