Commercial tenancy law

Commercial tenancy agreement - Lawyer Dusseldorf

The distinction between commercial tenancy law and typical residential tenancy law has considerable legal, but also practical significance. For example, the following provisions do not apply to commercial leases:

• Effectiveness requirement of temporary tenancy agreements (§ 575 BGB)
• The tenant's statutory right of first refusal (§577 BGB)
• The landlord's right to terminate the lease (§ 573 BGB)
• Tenant's right of objection (§ 547 BGB)
• Regulations on rent increases (§§ 557ff. BGB)
• Regulation of operating costs under § 556 BGB

For reasons of social tenant protection, deviating agreements to the detriment of the tenant are often prohibited in residential tenancy law, while freedom of contract still predominates in commercial tenancies.
