Residential tenancy law
Renting out a residential property is subject to legal regulations. The statutory requirements for residential accommodation are mostly mandatory and are mainly aimed at protecting the tenant. For instance, terminating an open-ended lease agreement is only possible based on legal grounds for termination, and rent increases are restricted.
In addition to this, both the tenant and the landlord have certain obligations. For instance, the tenant is obliged to pay the rent on a monthly basis, has to tolerate urgent work done on the property, and may not sublet the property without permission or cause a nuisance. In turn, the landlord is responsible for repairing defects in the dwelling, such as leaks, defective heating or poor ventilation.
