Document background
The Long Term Lease Agreement serves as a fundamental document for establishing extended property leasing arrangements under German law. It is primarily used when parties intend to enter into lease relationships exceeding standard rental periods, typically for commercial or significant residential purposes. The agreement must comply with strict German Civil Code (BGB) requirements, particularly regarding written form (Schriftform) and tenant protection provisions. It includes comprehensive details about property use, maintenance obligations, rent adjustments, and operating costs allocation, while also addressing specific German legal requirements such as energy efficiency standards and registration obligations. This document is crucial for securing long-term property rights and obligations, requiring careful consideration of both current terms and future implications under German jurisdiction.
