Renovation in Berlin & surroundings
For most tenants, renovating while moving out is also an integral part of the move, which is why wallpapering, painting in older apartments is taken for granted.
Renovation measures are generally common for tenants, even if there is no legal obligation to renew.
Tenant’s obligation when Renovating
There is no rule in tenancy law that requires tenants to renovate apartments when they move out. The landlord is actually responsible for the maintenance of the apartment. However, there are situations in which the landlord has the right to transfer, at least partially, the maintenance obligation to the tenant. However, this does not apply to complex measures such as replacing sanitary fittings or polishing floors, but only to minor painting works. This is also known as cosmetic repair.

When do tenants have to carry out renovations when moving out?
It is not possible to give a clear answer as to when the renovation is done by the tenant. At the time of the move, there is no new renewal law, although the Federal Supreme Court has issued several seminal decisions in recent years. This means that even if the relocation contract provides for it, the tenant does not have to do any renovation work while moving – be it a private move, a company move or a move for senior citizens. Rather than immediately reaching for the wallpaper paste and paintbrush, it may be advisable to consult an expert lawyer first.
Renewal should be done only if the renewal clause in the tenancy agreement is in effect. The acquisition of the apartment also plays a decisive role here, i.e. whether it has been renovated, partially renovated or not renovated.
If you have done the final renovation despite the invalid cosmetic repairs clause, you can recover the renovation cost from the landlord within six months.
