Chat with the § BGB
Hi,
understanding your rights shouldn't be difficult.
We know that the law is complex, and when you need to understand your rights it can be overwhelming and easy to make mistakes.
I created legalchat.app to let you chat with the "Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB)" so you can talk eye to eye with your landlord or "Hausverwaltung".
The BGB, or Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, is Germany's Civil Code packed with all the laws about private matters like contracts, property, and family. Chatting with the BGB can help you get a clear grip on your tenant and landlord rights. With legalchat.app, I’m here to help you know exactly where you stand and make those tricky legal talks a breeze!

What are my rights and obligations as a tenant in Germany?
§ In Germany, tenants enjoy significant protection against eviction. The landlord cannot simply decide to evict a tenant without a valid reason and must adhere to strict notice periods.
§ One surprising obligation of tenants in Germany that often catches foreigners off-guard is the "Schönheitsreparaturen" or cosmetic repairs clause in rental agreements. This clause often stipulates that tenants are responsible for carrying out certain cosmetic maintenance tasks during and at the end of their tenancy.
