Our team<\/a> provides clear, practical advice on tenancy disputes, possession proceedings, and issues of disrepair. Whether you are dealing with a single buy-to-let<\/a> property or a wider portfolio, we ensure that you remain compliant with your legal obligations while protecting your position as a landlord<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

F: Mein Mieter hat mir mitgeteilt, dass M\u00e4ngel vorliegen \u2013 was soll ich tun?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a tenant raises concerns about<\/a> disrepair, you should take the report seriously. First, acknowledge their complaint in writing and arrange an inspection of the property as soon as possible. If the disrepair falls under your legal obligations as a landlord (for example, under section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985), you must carry out the necessary works within a reasonable time. Ignoring or delaying repairs can worsen the issue and may expose you to legal claims<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

F: Ich habe meinem Mieter eine R\u00e4umungsaufforderung zugestellt, doch er behauptet, die Immobilie sei bauf\u00e4llig \u2013 welche Risiken bestehen?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A tenant can use allegations of disrepair to challenge<\/a> or delay possession proceedings. If they can show that you failed to deal with repairs, the court may refuse to grant possession, or the tenant may bring a counterclaim for damages. In some cases, disrepair can even render a notice invalid, particularly where retaliatory eviction<\/a> protections<\/a> apply (for example under the Deregulation Act 2015 in relation to assured shorthold tenancies). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

F: Wie schnell muss ich mich um M\u00e4ngel k\u00fcmmern?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no fixed statutory<\/a> timeframe, but the law requires landlords to act within a \u201creasonable time\u201d once notified. What is \u201creasonable\u201d depends on the seriousness of the issue. For example, a broken boiler in winter should be dealt with urgently, while minor cosmetic issues may allow for a longer response time. In any case, the sooner you act, the better your legal position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

F: Mein Mieter hat mir eine Mahnung wegen baulicher M\u00e4ngel an der Immobilie zugestellt \u2013 was muss ich tun?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ein Mahnschreiben bedeutet in der Regel, dass der Mieter ein Gerichtsverfahren in Erw\u00e4gung zieht. Sie sollten: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Best\u00e4tigen Sie den Erhalt des Schreibens umgehend.<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Lassen Sie sich umgehend rechtlich beraten<\/strong> \u2013 you must follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Housing<\/a> Disrepair Cases. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. F\u00fchren Sie gegebenenfalls Reparaturen durch<\/strong> unverz\u00fcglich. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Failure to respond properly may increase the risk of court proceedings and zus\u00e4tzlich<\/a> costs being awarded against you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
