Painting work in Berlin
Many tenancy agreements provide that tenants must carry out repairs after moving out, such as painting work in Berlin.
Since it has no legal basis, it has been made ineffective by Federal Court rulings, meaning that no landlord has the right to make these demands.
The tenant is only required to leave the apartment clean and tidy.
How are cosmetic repairs defined in the rental agreement?
Of course, if certain covenants are in the tenancy agreement there are some exceptions and these must be met. For example, if the tenant has changed the color of the wall or caused damage during the rental period. Of course these must also be repaired and the apartment restored to the condition it was in when the tenant moved out. In these cases, as a tenant you will have to do painting work in Berlin.
There are some clauses in the tenancy agreement which are invalid. If the tenant only lives in the apartment for a short time or has painted when moving in, the landlord cannot be asked to paint when moving out. Furthermore, the landlord cannot arbitrarily demand cosmetic repairs from the tenant. For this reason, courts have agreed upon guidelines for various renewal intervals.

What painting work in Berlin must be undertaken by the tenant?
Kitchens and bathrooms should be renovated every three years, utility rooms (storage rooms) every seven years, and living rooms every five years. If the tenant is responsible for the painting work, it is up to them how they want to decorate the walls and ceiling to suit their tastes. For example, if you decide to paint the walls red, but move in and out before the renovation period ends, the landlord is not required to do the necessary painting. This means that the clauses in the rental agreement relating to the choice of color are invalid.
If the tenancy agreement states that the apartment must be renovated by the tenant at different intervals, it would be good to know that painting work (cosmetic repairs) in Berlin, for example, is only of average nature and quality. In other words, if the tenant brings the apartment to the same condition as it was during his stay, the tenant can do the necessary work himself. On the other hand, the landlord is not obliged to follow the tenant’s tasteful wishes when renovating.
