About mediation
Decision
If the case is not solved through mediation we will decide the case in the form of a written decision.
Before that, we consider if the parties should be given the opportunity to provide more information
Decisions in the Rent Disputes Tribunal is made by an unbiased case leader, a committee member from the side of the tenants and a committee member from the side of the landlords.
When the decision is written, we send the decision to the parties. The decision is final and enforceable if none of the parties appeal it to the district court.
The claim settlement
In most cases one of the parties must pay an amount to the other. This entails a financial settlement being made.
It is the parties themselves who are responsible for making sure the payments are made and received.
