Since the beginning of 2019, there has been a change in tenancy law that results in significantly altered conditions for landlords. These changes affect, for example, the possibilities of passing on costs for modernization to the rent.
\nThey define new disclosure obligations for landlords towards potential new tenants and establish measures against so-called \"renoviction,\" where modernization work serves only as a pretext. This article presents the various changes resulting from the current amendment to tenancy law.<\/p>\n

How can landlords pass on modernization costs?<\/h2>\n

Landlords may pass on a portion of the costs for modernizing their residential property to tenants through a rent increase. However, the limits for this were tightened at the beginning of 2019. Before the new rent law amendment, landlords could permanently add a maximum of eleven percent of the modernization costs to the rent. Since the beginning of 2019, it has been only eight percent. In addition, there is now a so-called cap.<\/p>\n

After modernization, the rent for each square meter of living space can only increase by a maximum of three euros\/m\u00b2 within six years. This applies to all cold rents that were at least seven euros\/m\u00b2 before modernization. If the rent per square meter was lower before modernization, the rent may increase by a maximum of two euros\/m\u00b2 within the six years. The legislator wants to prevent affordable housing from becoming too expensive for existing tenants due to modernization.<\/p>\n

What is the future advantage for modernizing landlords?<\/h2>\n

What new obligations does the landlord have regarding information?<\/h2>\n

Durch die Mietrechts\u00e4nderung haben Vermieter neue Informationspflichten gegen\u00fcber potenziellen Neumietern. Sie gelten bei einer neu verlangten Miete, die in Regionen mit einer Mietpreisbindung \u00fcber der ohne Ausnahmeregelung maximal m\u00f6glichen liegt. Mietpreisbindungen gelten in St\u00e4dten mit einem angespannten Wohnungsmarkt. Dort darf die Miete bei einer Neuvermietung von Bestandswohnungen in der Regel maximal zehn Prozent \u00fcber der orts\u00fcblichen Vergleichsmiete liegen. Eine Ausnahme besteht beispielsweise nach einer Modernisierung der jeweiligen Immobilie.Verlangt ein Vermieter bei einer Neuvermietung in einer Gegend mit Mietpreisbindung eine die Regel \u00fcbersteigende Miete, greifen die Informationspflichten. Der Vermieter muss Wohnungsinteressenten dann unaufgefordert die H\u00f6he der zuvor gezahlten Miete nennen. Er muss sie zus\u00e4tzlich dar\u00fcber informieren, dass die von ihm verlangte Neumiete das mit der Mietpreisbindung verbundene Plus von maximal zehn Prozent \u00fcbersteigt.<\/p>\n\n\t
