Dream apartment with basement! Independent rental contracts now possible
On October 2, 2025, an attractive apartment will be offered for rent in Leipzig. This apartment is not only well cut, but also offers comprehensive equipment that appeals to potential tenants. The highlights include a spacious bathroom with window and shower bathtub as well as a practical fitted kitchen with enough space for cooking. The living rooms are laminate, while the kitchen and the bathroom are provided with tiles. A successful room concept ensures that the apartment has a light and inviting effect. The spacious hall in particular offers space for wardrobe and shoe cabinet.
A special mention deserves your own cellar compartment, which belongs to the apartment. In the past few months, a new legal topic around the basement has developed that is of interest to landlords and tenants alike. In a current judgment, the Federal Court of Justice decided that the renting of a cellar compartment can also be made separately from the living space. Landlords can conclude independent rental contracts for both the apartment and the corresponding basement compartment. This could be an interesting option for many landlords, especially in view of the applicable rental price brake, which is only relevant for living space. Especially now that rental prices are under pressure in urban areas, such regulations can improve the chances of winning.
Cellar compartments as separate rental objects
The topic of separate rental of basement compartments was significantly influenced by a judgment of the Federal Court of Justice on July 5, 2023. The BGH found that the rental price brake does not apply to cellar compartments, which opens up new design options for landlords. In the specific case, a living space rental contract for 850 euros was cold and a cellar usage agreement over 79 euros per month. Such separate contracts can potentially play an essential role in the rental design, since they do not influence the living space rental contract and thus remain unaffected by the rental price brake.
This legal situation is expected to apply in other areas, such as renting garages or parking spaces. With the possibility of applying average price increases, the usage fee for basement can increase from around 2.5 % annually, which is a long -term planning security for landlords. The Federal Court of Justice at the same time emphasized that the different regulations in terms of term and notice periods between the rental contracts are crucial for the independence of the tenancy. This flexibility could prove to be beneficial for landlords who want to meet the requirements of the market.
The attractive apartment in Leipzig, with its comprehensive equipment and the possibility of renting a separate basement compartment, is therefore presented as an interesting offer in the current living area.
