Rental Agreement & Graduated Rent Contract

The apartment has been continuously and reliably rented since December 1, 2015 to a non-profit organization active in the social sector. Among other things, the organization supports young people in special life situations and receives regular funds from public budgets for its work.

The rental contract was set up as a graduated rent contract in 2015 and is structured until 2035. The monthly cold rent increases automatically by 3% each year – from the current €620 to €639 on December 1, 2025, up to €858 in the year 2035. The entire graduated rent increase is contractually fixed, offering a long-term predictable income situation.

For additional security, the managing partner of the organization has provided a personal guarantee for the tenancy.

The apartment was handed over freshly renovated to the tenant. The condition of the apartment as well as all features have been documented and recorded in a written handover protocol.

The fitted kitchen is owned by the landlord and has been made available to the tenant for use – this is also contractually regulated.
