谈谈扣留租金

On rent detention

在定期租船合同下，承租人（租方）有一项基本义务即是向出租人（船方）按时按数支付租金。租金是船方将其合法运营或拥有的船舶交予租方使用的基本对价，是其缔结租船合同的根本目的之一，所以租金应当是足额的、按期支付的，原则上是不能扣留的。然而租船合同如同其他合同的约定一样，通常都附带条件限制或者存在例外的情况，

Under the fixed-time ship rental contract,the renter has to pay rental fees on time to the lessor.Rental fee is the basic price charged on the renter for using the ship owned and operated legitimately by the lessor.It is one of the fundamental reasons for signing a contract.Therefore,rental fee must be paid on time and in full amount.In principle,it cannot be detained.However,like any other type of contract,a ship rental contract usually includes proviso restrictions or exceptional terms,which allow for detention of rental fee under certain circumstances.In conditions agreed upon by the two parties or legally acceptable circumstances,the renter can detain the rent without breaking the contract or law.In other words,the renter is still fulfilling the contract and obeying the law.
