In the event of late payment, the landlord is entitled to charge the statutory default interest and a fee of €5.00 for the 2nd reminder and €5.00 for the 3rd reminder. If the direct debit is returned, the tenant will bear the bank charges incurred by the collecting bank. A return debit fee of €15.00 will be due for this.

A cardinal obligation is a landlord's obligation, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the contractual partner can regularly rely. In such cases, the landlord's liability is limited to the typically occurring, foreseeable and immediate damage. Other limitations of liability of the landlord remain unaffected.
3. In accordance with the above points 1 and 2, the landlord's liability is also excluded for damage caused by fire, smoke, soot, snow, water, mud and gradual effects of moisture, unless the damage was caused by gross neglect of the rental property and the landlord failed to remedy the defects within a reasonable period of time despite timely notification and request from the tenant.

5. Disruptions to the use of the rental property by other tenants or other third parties (e.g. due to traffic diversions, excavations, road closures, noise, smell or dust nuisances or similar), regardless of the extent, do not constitute a defect in the rental property, unless the landlord is responsible for them due to gross negligence or intent. The landlord will, however, endeavour to eliminate any disruptions of which he is aware.

The landlord is obliged to have the work carried out promptly.
