Objection §574 BGB: Tenant Protection in Germany

Many older tenants in Germany face the challenge of contesting a termination or threat of eviction. This text explains in practical terms how seniors can properly document an objection under §574 BGB, gather evidence and meet deadlines so that protection against termination applies. We describe simple steps to create a clear objection letter, which forms of documentation (photos, logs, witnesses) are sensible and when the local court should be involved. The goal is to provide understandable action recommendations so that even people without legal background can assert their rights as tenants in Germany with confidence. We also explain which official forms and court information are important, how deadlines under the Code of Civil Procedure work and which practical templates seniors can use. At the end you will find a short checklist, a step-by-step guide and pointers to authorities and courts in Germany.
