4. If the Tenant has taken over the cosmetic repairs the cosmetic repairs due according to Par. 2 and 3 are to be subse-quently carried out in time before the termination of the tenancy.

§ 5 Further services of the Tenant

The following further services are to be provided by the Tenant, because the rent does not cover these services:

1) *) The costs for remedying the minor damages are to be reimbursed to the Landlord by the Tenant. Minor damages are small damages to the installation objects for electricity, water and gas, the heating and cooking facilities, the win-dow and door locks as well as the locking devices of shutters.

Landlord hereby to such a substantial extent that he considerable endangers the rental object by neglecting the care and attention for which he is responsible or he hands it over to a third party without authorization or

b) the Tenant sustainably disturbs the peace in the house so that the continuation of the tenancy until the expiry of the period of notice or until the other termination of the tenancy cannot be deemed reasonable for the Landlord by taking all circumstances of the individual case into consideration, in particular a fault of the Tenant and by weighing up the mutual interests or

c) the Tenant is in default for two consecutive dates with the payment of the rent or a part of the rent, which exceeds one monthly rent or

d) in a period of time, which covers more than two dates, is in default with the payment of the rent in the volume of an amount, which achieves the rent for two months.

*) Please delete that which is not applicable.1) Reference is to be made here e.g. to the concrete by-laws under public law.

§ 7 No tacit extension of the tenancy

The Landlord does not agree that an extension of the tenancy shall occur if the Tenant continues to use the apartment after expiry of the contractual term or a granted deadline for clearance; i.e. Section 545 BGB [German Civil Code] is excluded.

§ 8 Use of the rental object, change right of the Landlord

The Landlord may install or change the house rules and the use regulations subsequently if this is urgently necessary in the interest of a proper management of the house and deemed reasonable for the Tenant. Possible new or changed regulations will be notified to the Tenant separately. Regulations beyond this require the consent of the Tenant.

§ 9 Retention of the rental object

(1) The Tenant has to treat the rental object as well as the rooms, equipment and systems determined for common use with due care and attention. He in particular also has to ensure sufficient ventilation and heating of all rooms handed over to him in order to avoid damages due to damp and frost. In order to avoid water contamination the Tenant has to ensure sufficient withdrawal of water on all taps or shower heads in the rooms handed over to him.

(2) Damages in the rental premises, in the house and to the external facilities are to be reported to the Landlord imme-diately. The Tenant shall be liable for damages, which are caused by the culpable breach of the reporting and care obligations for which he is responsible in particular if technical systems and other equipment are treated improperly, the rooms which are handed over are only insufficiently ventilated, heated or not sufficiently protected against frost or only insufficient water is withdrawn. He shall also be liable for damages, which are culpably caused by his family members, sub-tenants as well as by other persons, who come into contact with the rental object at the initiation of the Tenant.

§ 10 Modernisation and energy savings

The Tenant has to tolerate measures for the retention of the rental object and modernisation measures according to Section 555b BGB insofar as the obligation hereto is derived from Section 555a or Section 555d BGB. Sections 559 to 559b BGB are to be complied with in case of a rental increase owing to modernisation.

§ 11 Acts of the Tenant which are liable to approval

(1) With consideration for the entirety of the tenants and in the interest of a proper management of the building, the property and the apartment the Tenant requires the prior approval of the Landlord, if he

a) hands over the apartment or individual rooms to third parties against payment or free of charge unless it concerns a free admission for a reasonable duration of time (visit),

b) uses or has used the apartment or individual rooms for other than housing purposes,

c) affixed signs (except customary name signs on the places envisaged for this purpose), inscriptions or objects of all kinds in joint rooms, on the building or installs these on the property,

d) keeps animals insofar as it does not concern the customary keeping of small animals (e.g. fish, hamsters, birds),

e) installs, affixed or changes antennas outside of the closed rental premises,

f) deviates from the type of heating agreed according to the hand-over protocol,

g) intends to park a motor vehicle, including a moped in the rental premises, in the building or on the property outside of the envisaged parking, installation or storage places,

h) carries out conversions, annexes, built-in items and installations, changes the rental premises, systems or equip-ment; this shall also apply insofar as the measures are necessary for the use of the rental object suitable for disabled persons or the access to it,

i) intends to store heating oil or other inflammable materials,

j) intends to have further keys made,

unless otherwise agreed in § 16.

(2) The approval of the Landlord should be carried out in writing; this does not exclude that the contractual parties reach an oral agreement in an individual case. The approval can be carried out subject to conditions.

(3) For the event of the hand-over of the apartment or individual rooms according to Par. 1 a) the provisions of Section 553 BGB shall apply.

In case of measures, which are necessary for the use suitable for disabled persons, the provisions of Section 554a BGB shall apply.

In the other cases of Par. 1 the Landlord shall grant the consent if the act corresponds with the customary rental use and is not opposed by any justified interests of the Landlord and no disturbances of other residents of the house and neigh-bours as well as impairments to the rental object and the property are to be expected.

2(4) The Landlord can revoke a granted consent if conditions are not fulfilled, residents, building or properties are endangered or impaired or neighbours are disturbed or circumstances arise under which an approval would no longer be granted.

(5) A possible liability of the Tenant is not excluded by the approval of the Landlord.

(6) The Tenant does not require a prior approval of the Landlord for the installation and operation of customary household washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers. The Tenant has however to hereby comply with the relevant technical regulations and the customary regulations in order to prevent the impairments and damages associated with the installation and operation of such appliances.

Before installation the Tenant has to report its intention to the Landlord so that possible risks for the rental object, etc. can be clarified.

§ 12 Inspection of the rental object by the Landlord

(1) Authorized agents of the Landlord can inspect the rental object or have it inspected at a reasonable time of the day in justified cases after prior timely notification to the Tenant.

(2) In urgent cases (e.g. with a burst pipe or risk of frost) the Landlord is entitled with the absence of the Tenant to have the rental premises opened at the Tenant’s costs if the keys are not available to the Landlord. The Tenant is to be notified immediately.

§ 13 Continuation of the tenancy in the event of the death of the Tenant

(1) If the tenancy is concluded with several tenants then it shall be continued with the surviving tenants after the death of one of the tenants. These can terminate the tenancy extraordinarily with the statutory deadline within one month after they have gained knowledge of the death of the tenant.

(2) If the Tenant manages a joint household with his spouse in the apartment then the spouse shall enter into the tenan-cy with the death of the Tenant. The same shall apply to the partner. If the spouse or the partner declares towards the Landlord within one month after he has gained knowledge of the death of the Tenant that he does not intend to conti-nue the tenancy his entry into the tenancy shall be deemed as not carried out.

(3) Incidentally, the statutory provisions shall apply in the event of the death of the Tenant.

(4) The Landlord can, if the deceased Tenant did not provide and rental security, request the provision of security from the persons, who have entered into the tenancy or with whom it is continued, according to the statutory regulation.

§ 14 Return of the rental object

(1) Upon termination of the tenancy the provided rooms are to be handed over in a proper condition.

(2) If the Tenant has carried out changes to the rental object then he has to restore the original condition by no later than the termination of the tenancy insofar as not otherwise agreed already or in the future. The same shall apply to systems and equipment (also signs and inscriptions) within and outside of the rental premises. The Landlord can request that equipment remain when the Tenant moves out if it gives the Tenant reasonable compensation. The Landlord is not entitled to this right if the Tenant has a justified interest in taking these with him.

(3) When he moves out the Tenant has to hand over all keys to the Landlord; otherwise the Landlord is entitled to open the rooms at the Tenant’s costs and to have new locks and keys made unless the Tenant credibly proves that an abuse is excluded.

§ 15 Several tenants, joint and several debt, power of attorney

(1) Several tenants shall be liable for all obligations from the rental agreement as joint and several debtors.

(2) Declarations of intent are to be submitted towards all tenants; for the legal validity of the receipt it is sufficient if they are submitted towards one of the tenants. This power of attorney for receipt, which also applies to the acceptance of terminations, can be revoked due to a justified interest.
