Rent Overcharge Notice: Tenant Rights in Germany
Tenants who suspect their rent is too high should act promptly and methodically. In Germany, tenant law protects renters from unlawful rent increases; this includes sending a written notice of objection, securing evidence, and observing deadlines. This guide explains which proofs (rental contract, bank statements, photos, comparable rents) are important, how to write an informal objection letter and when it is necessary to go to the local court (Amtsgericht). You will receive practical tips on gathering evidence, meeting deadlines and communicating with the landlord so you can enforce your rights effectively without unnecessary risk.
