The termination of the lease and eviction
Love Schmidt asks:
Signed a contract for three years for the surrender of apartments for rent, the tenant paid one month and at second month and the Deposit is not paid, contact, wrote a letter about the payment or termination of the agreement, and sent by mail, not responding. There is a desire to shut off the water! Maybe then will be the result? Or need to hire a lawyer and go to court? How much will it cost and how long it would take? I would be grateful for your answers!

Dear Love, if You signed the contract, there should be reflected the responsibility of the tenant and landlord. Who's watching the apartment in Germany? Is there a management company? If there is a management company - the question they have to decide if is nothing, then, of course, the most reliable is to contact a lawyer. Sincerely,

Good day, Love,
Off the water, of course, an effective way, but illegal. By law, if the tenant has a debt to pay for 2 months, you have the right to terminate the lease without complying with the legal deadlines for eviction and the tenant must move out. If he does not, you need to contact a lawyer and the court. In this case, the attorney fees and court costs will have to borne by the losing party, we believe that it will be the tenant. Court proceedings can take up to a year. For more information you can obtain from a lawyer.
By law, your next steps: wait for delay payment for 2 months, then contact a lawyer and the court.
