- Letter demanding the return of a rental deposit (Germany)The letter a tenant in Germany sends after moving out to get the deposit back. It states the end of the tenancy, the handover and the deposit, demands repayment with interest under § 551(3) of the German Civil Code (BGB) — or release of the pledged deposit account or the guarantee — by a deadline, asks for an itemised settlement with receipts, and limits any retention to a fair part for the outstanding service-charge bill. German law sets no fixed repayment date, so the letter promises none. In German, to print, sign and send.
- Tenant's objection to a landlord's notice on hardship grounds (Germany)The letter a tenant in Germany uses to object to a landlord's ordinary notice — for own use, for example — and to demand that the tenancy continue, because moving out would be an unjustifiable hardship for the tenant or the household (§ 574 of the German Civil Code, BGB): old age, illness, pregnancy, children at school or no affordable replacement housing. Since 1 January 2025 text form is enough (§ 574b BGB); the objection must reach the landlord no later than two months before the tenancy ends. The letter gives the reasons and does not accept the notice. In German.
- Landlord's request for consent to a rent increase (Germany)The letter a landlord in Germany uses to ask the tenant to consent to a rent increase up to the local comparative rent under § 558 of the German Civil Code (BGB) — the landlord cannot raise the rent unilaterally. It states the old and new net rent, justifies the increase with the local rent index, a rent database, an expert opinion or three comparable flats (§ 558a BGB), gives the figures of a qualified rent index, respects the 20 or 15 per cent cap and the 15-month wait, and sets the deadline for consent; a consent form for the tenant to sign is attached. Text form is enough. In German.
- Landlord's termination for rent arrears, with ordinary notice in the alternative (Germany)A landlord's notice in Germany when the tenant is behind with the rent: without notice under § 543(2) of the German Civil Code (BGB) and, at the same time, ordinary notice in the alternative under § 573(2) no. 1 BGB — because if the tenant pays up, only the termination without notice falls away (BGH VIII ZR 106/23). The letter states the ground and every unpaid month, sets a date to hand the flat back, objects to a tacit extension and tells the tenant about the objection in text form. In German, to print and sign by hand by every landlord.
- Tenant's notice ending a residential lease (Germany)The letter a tenant in Germany uses to end a residential lease. Under § 573c of the German Civil Code (BGB) the tenant's notice period is three months: notice that arrives by the third working day of a month ends the tenancy at the end of the month after next. The letter gives notice to the chosen date, or else to the next possible one, and can invoke the special rights after a rent increase (§ 561 BGB) or a refused sublet (§ 540 BGB). Written form is required (§ 568 BGB): print it and have every tenant sign by hand — by e-mail it is void. In German.
- Landlord's notice ending a tenancy for own use (Germany)A landlord's ordinary notice in Germany ending a tenancy because the landlord, a family member or a member of the household needs the flat (§ 573(2) no. 2 of the German Civil Code, BGB). As § 573(3) BGB requires, the letter names the person who is to move in, their relationship to the landlord, where they live now and why they need the flat; it states the notice period by length of tenancy (three, six or nine months), objects to a tacit extension and tells the tenant about the right to object in text form (§ 574b BGB). Written form: print and sign by hand by every landlord. In German.
