Whether the matter concerns rent arrears, defects in the leased property, rent-related disputes, termination of a tenancy agreement, or conflicts regarding maintenance obligations, careful legal assessment is essential to protect your rights and interests. Timely legal advice can help prevent disputes and minimize lengthy legal proceedings.

Within tenancy law, lease agreements, statutory tenant protection, termination procedures, and evidence play an important role.

F.A.Q.

Taking prompt action is important. In many cases, the process begins with a payment reminder or a formal notice of default. If payment is still not made, further legal action may be taken, such as debt recovery proceedings or a request to terminate the tenancy agreement and obtain an eviction order.
The allocation of maintenance obligations depends on the law and the provisions of the tenancy agreement. As a general rule, routine and minor repairs are usually the responsibility of the tenant, while major maintenance and structural repairs are typically the responsibility of the landlord. The exact division of responsibilities may vary depending on the circumstances and the terms of the tenancy agreement.
No, a landlord cannot simply terminate a tenancy agreement at will. For residential property, strict legal rules apply, and a statutory ground for termination is usually required. Commercial leases are also subject to specific legal protection rules.
When defects arise, such as leaks, mold, poor maintenance, or technical issues, the landlord must be notified. Depending on the situation, the tenant may be entitled to repairs, rent reduction, or compensation for damages.
In many cases, a landlord is allowed to increase the rent, but this is subject to statutory rules and contractual conditions. For residential property, rent increases are often limited by legal caps. For commercial property, rent adjustments generally depend on the terms of the tenancy agreement or statutory rent review mechanisms.
Eviction is generally only possible after a court order, unless the tenant leaves voluntarily. A careful legal process is essential in these situations.
