Abstract

This contribution describes the formal requirements for commercial lease contracts, the possibilities of rent reviews, lessor’s option for VAT, the special provisions for registered leases and the possibilities of diverging from certain legal regulations for lease contracts in the German Civil Code (“Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch—BGB”) esp. concerning operating costs, obligations for maintenance and repair/decorative repairs, security, subletting. Such diversions are restricted by the law on general terms and conditions of business.
