German rental contracts are complex and often contain clauses that are illegal under German tenancy law. Our experts review your contract before you sign — protecting you from hidden costs and unfair terms.
We verify the Kaltmiete, Warmmiete, Nebenkosten breakdown, and Kaution amount against legal limits (max 3 months net rent).
We check that notice periods comply with German tenancy law — typically 3 months for tenants, longer for landlords.
We identify clauses that restrict or prohibit subletting (Untermiete), which is relevant for WG arrangements.
We flag clauses that illegally transfer renovation costs to the tenant, which German courts have repeatedly ruled invalid.
We check for Staffelmiete (stepped rent) or Indexmiete (index-linked rent) clauses and verify they comply with the Mietpreisbremse.
We review clauses about the condition of the apartment upon move-out, including painting and restoration obligations.
