At the time of taking over the apartment, the period of usage is agreed. The contract is terminated at the end of the agreed contract duration. Any implicit renewal of the contract is explicitly excluded from the agreement. For renewal, a new agreement must be agreed and signed. For a 40-days initial contract, any extension of the apartment user agreement must be requested in advance at least 14 days before the last day of the contract. For longer-term apartment usage authorisations, any extension of the contract must be requested at least 4 weeks before the last day of the apartment user agreement.
Early termination of a longer-term apartment user agreement is possible with a notice period of one month at the end of each month. There is no early termination option for initial usage contracts of at least 40 days and for subsequent contracts on a monthly basis.
