The Notice To Raise Rent Letter is a crucial document in German property management, used when landlords wish to increase rent within the parameters set by German law. This document must be drafted in strict compliance with the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly §§557-561, which govern rent increases in existing tenancy agreements. The notice must include specific components such as the amount of increase, justification (typically referencing the local Mietspiegel), and effective date. It's essential when market conditions or property improvements warrant a rent adjustment, but must respect limitations such as the cap on increases (maximum 20% within three years) and local rent control regulations. The document serves both as a formal notification and a legal basis for the proposed change in rental terms.
