Document background
The Extension Of Tenancy Agreement is a crucial document in German property law that provides continuity in landlord-tenant relationships while ensuring compliance with the German Civil Code (BGB). It is typically used when parties wish to extend their existing rental arrangement beyond its original term, whether for residential or commercial properties. This document must reflect any applicable rent control regulations, energy efficiency requirements, and local housing laws. The extension agreement should reference the original tenancy agreement and clearly state any modifications to terms, particularly regarding rent adjustments which must comply with legal limits in protected areas. It's essential for property management and can be used in various contexts, from single residential units to large commercial spaces, requiring careful attention to both federal German law and local regulations.
