Commercial rent
July 26, 2010 | 25,00 EUR | answered by Steffan Schwerin
I have a rental agreement which is fixed until 31.8.2010, automatically extended by 1 year if not terminated in writing 6 months in advance. Since we had a special price, the clause was also included that the rent will be renegotiated if the lease continues from 1.9.2010. The rental agreement stated office use, which is no longer the case.
Now the landlord wants to increase the rent or terminate the lease immediately, as we now have a different use.
Is it that simple?
Additionally, what happens if we do not agree on a new rent? Will the old one remain? In theory, the landlord should have terminated the agreement 5 months ago.
Since we want to move out sooner or later anyway, the question arises how long can we stay in the premises without it becoming a major problem and only pay the 'old' rent.
Best regards,
Joerg Lindner
Dear questioner,
I will answer the questions you have raised taking into consideration the facts provided and your input as follows:
If the tenant changes the agreed use of the rental contract, the contract becomes void and the landlord can terminate it, not immediately, but with a 3-month notice period.
If an agreement on a new rent cannot be reached, the landlord can terminate the contract if they are entitled to a rent increase.
I would like to point out that this platform cannot replace a comprehensive and personal legal consultation. The aim here is to provide an initial rough assessment of your legal problem based on the information you have provided, by a lawyer. The legal advice I provide is based solely on the information you have provided. Adding or omitting relevant information in your description of the situation may lead to a completely different legal assessment.
I hope I have given you an initial overview and that my explanations have been helpful. Feel free to contact me through the follow-up option on this platform.
Furthermore, I am also available for legal representation. The initial consultation fee would be fully credited towards any further services.
Distance between lawyer and client is generally not an issue. Modern communication tools such as email, post, fax, and telephone allow for effective legal representation.
Kind regards,
