BGH Simplifies Tenancy Termination for Landlords' Personal Use
In a significant ruling, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has simplified the process for landlords to terminate tenancies for personal use. This change comes after a Berlin property owner successfully argued for their right to renovate and sell their own living spaces, ending their tenant's lease.
The BGH's decision, handed down on August 6, 2025, clarifies that selling a property to a GmbH & Co. KG does not automatically allow for a termination due to personal use. However, the court ruled in favor of the Berlin landlord, setting a new precedent for similar cases.
Previously, landlords living in the same house could claim personal use if they needed the tenant's apartment for renovations and subsequent sale of their own living spaces. The recent ruling has made this process easier for landlords, potentially impacting many rental agreements across Germany.
The BGH's decision in 2025 has streamlined the process for landlords to terminate tenancies for personal use, specifically when renovating and selling their own living spaces. This change may have significant implications for tenants and landlords alike, highlighting the importance of staying informed about evolving rental laws.
