In Grafenau, a dispute over an apartment termination escalates: 69-year-old harasses owner, investigation initiated.
69-year-old freaks out after terminating his lease - owner injured!
In a disturbing incident in Spiegelau, a 69-year-old experienced a violent outburst due to his apartment being evicted. The situation escalated after a dispute with the new owners, who took action due to water damage to the property. The argument resulted in the tenant massively insulting the owners, who ultimately resorted to physical violence.
As pnp.de reports, the tenant tried to forcefully grab the 22-year-old owner by the arm and pull her through the patio door into the apartment. There were verbal threats that escalated the incident even further. The owner's 34-year-old husband was able to intervene at the last minute by pulling his wife away from the aggressive tenant, causing the owner to suffer minor injuries.
Legal consequences
Following these incidents, an investigation was initiated against the 69-year-old. The allegations include bodily harm, insults and threats. This shows that the legal framework for terminating a tenancy agreement in Germany is complex. According to immobilienscout24.de, termination without notice is generally possible in the event of insults and violence. Tenants also have a special right of termination in the event of certain rent increases, which is regulated in Section 9 MHG.
However, terminating a rental property can also be complicated because there is a right to object. As a result, there is no special right of termination for landlords, as the Federal Court of Justice has decided, which puts landlords in a difficult position in the current situation. Landlords must expect an extended special right of termination, particularly in the case of long-term rent increase announcements.
However, if a tenant does not move out despite giving notice without notice, in many cases an eviction action is necessary to end the tenancy. These legal aspects are highly relevant for both sides - both landlords and tenants - and illustrate the challenges in German tenancy law.
