Clarify tenancy law issues based on your documents.
Whether it's an apartment, office, shop or other commercial space: Benjamin Mann is your point of contact for tenancy law issues, in particular commercial tenancy law. A rent increase, an incomprehensible statement or an open deposit may be grounds for legal advice. Describe your concern to us. We first check whether we can take on the mandate and what documents are required for an individual legal assessment.
Benjamin Mann advises and represents in corporate law, employment law and tenancy law. In tenancy law, there is a particular focus on commercial leases. He supports companies and shareholders as well as employers, employees, tenants and landlords.
A tenancy review is based on the contract, subsequent agreements and the actual course of the rental agreement. Individual letters should therefore be considered together with the associated documents. Before an assignment, we clarify the subject matter, scope and remuneration. Whether an out-of-court settlement or further action appears appropriate can only be assessed on the basis of the specific facts.

Commercial tenancy law
Benjamin Mann supports commercial leases, for example for offices, shops and other business premises.

Defects and termination of the rental agreement
Describe the condition of the apartment, notifications that have already been made or the reason for a termination. By appointment, we will review the need for legal advice. Record the timeline and known deadlines so that the scope and urgency of the issue can be identified.

Questions & answers.
Will every tenancy law request be accepted?
The takeover will be clarified for the specific issue. This includes the facts, scope, competence and available capacity. A request alone does not create a mandate and does not assume responsibility for processing.
What do I need for an audit of operating costs?
The complete statement, the rental agreement, relevant previous year's documents and previous inquiries or answers are helpful. Mark the points that you want to have checked without omitting the remaining pages.
Can landlords also contact the law firm?
Yes Describe the tenancy and the specific question. We first clarify whether we can take on the issue and what information is required for a defined consulting assignment.
