The rental agreement obligates the landlord to provide a faultless and defect-free rental object. The living space must be in a condition that permits use in accordance with the contract. In reality, rental defects are widespread. Legal disputes between tenant and landlord often arise at this point. Many tenants are unsure how to act in case of a defect. For example, is the tenant allowed to have a structural rental defect repaired at the landlord's expense? When and in what amount can the rent be reduced if the landlord fails to remedy a rental defect despite repeated requests to do so?? Since a rental defect always depends on the circumstances of the individual case, standard answers to these questions are not possible. Tenants are well advised to consult a lawyer qualified in landlord and tenant law in the event of rental defects. This way, the right steps can be taken right from the start. The law firm Lamster& Partner in Freiburg assists tenants with rental defects.<\/p>\n

What are rental defects and which ones occur frequently?<\/h2>\n
In the event of a rental defect, no defect-free, faultless living space is provided. In fact, defects limit the suitability of the living space for the contractual use or, in the worst case, even cancel it out completely. The rental defect does not always have to lie in the rental property itself. An external influence can also cause a rental defect, such as noise. In a rough categorization, a distinction is made between defects in construction, mold and noise. Claims by the tenant against the landlord due to rental defects generally only arise if the tenant is not responsible for the defect.<\/p>\n
Complex legal and factual issues in the case of rental defects<\/h2>\n
Legally, rental defects are so difficult to assess because controversies can arise at several points. For example, minor damage that only insignificantly restricts the use of the rented property does not constitute a defect. The question of the materiality of a defect must be examined in the circumstances of the individual case. Likewise, the parties to the rental agreement often argue about who is responsible for the defect. While it may be possible to clearly clarify this question in the case of an obvious construction defect, this is often not the case in the case of mold growth. If mold has formed in an apartment, in many cases the landlord accuses the tenant of incorrect ventilation behavior, while the tenant blames the mold growth on the building conditions. Here, too, the actual situation must be examined in detail in the specific circumstances of the individual case. The problems are even more complex because various factors often interact to cause a defect.<\/p>\n

Claims of the tenant in case of rental defects<\/h2>\n
Many tenants are familiar with the possibility of a rent reduction in the event of a rental defect. However, certain prerequisites must be observed in the case of a rent reduction. First of all, the landlord must have been requested by the tenant to remedy the defect. If the landlord does not comply with the request, a right to reduce the rent can generally arise. From a legal point of view, the tenant asserts a right of retention for part of the rent with the rent reduction. The amount of rent reduction is a sensitive matter. If the tenant withholds too much rent, he risks that the rental agreement will be terminated by the landlord due to arrears in payment. It is therefore advisable to consult and prepare a planned rent reduction with a lawyer for tenancy law. From the case law of the courts, there are indications of how much may be reduced in the case of certain defects in the rent. Your lawyer will work with you to develop suitable principles for your individual case.<\/p>\n
From rent deficiencies can arise for the tenant further claims. For example, the delayed removal of a defect can give rise to a claim for damages. In the case of a particularly serious deviation from the desired condition of the rental object, the possibility of an extraordinary termination of the rental agreement without notice by the tenant must be considered. This termination without notice can be followed by claims for damages.<\/p>\n
Under certain circumstances, the tenant may also hire a craftsman to remove a defect himself and later charge these costs to the landlord. In this case one speaks of a substitute performance.<\/p>\n
