> at least german law says otherwise. I'm pretty sure it's not what it says. > i have never rented with an expectation to move out. Wait, you always rent with the expectation to stay in that place forever, until you die, and never move? That's certainly an unusual way of doing things. In the US, average renal duration is just above 2 years, and I have heard about people moving many times, so certainly you must be aware even if you do not intend to ever move, other people do that? > if the purpose of the property is to be rented out then what more control do you need Why do you think you can determine the purpose of the property that does not belong to you, once and forever? > why would you want to terminate a lease otherwise Why it's any of your business? > welcome to germany. Thanks, I'll pass, for one more reason in the otherwise very, very long list of reasons.

I'm pretty sure it's not what it says. it does say that the needs of the tenants almost always outweigh the needs of the owner. you always rent with the expectation to stay in that place forever, until you die, and never move? why does undetermined time to stay always have to imply that i'll stay there until i die? i rent with the expectation that i can stay there as long as i want, and renew as many times as i want, until my life circumstances change. i never have a moving out date in mind. where i am now i might stay 1 year, 5 years, 10 years. i have no idea. the expectation is that i am the one to choose when i move out and noone else. Why do you think you can determine the purpose of the property that does not belong to you, once and forever? i don't. the german law does however. the majority of people in germany live in rental properties. so if you build a rental property, it better remain a rental property and nothing else. that's what you got permission and maybe even subsidies for. because the country needs more rental properties. and this is one way to achieve that. by giving tenants the right to rent the same place as long as they need. the exceptions for the owner to change that are very limited and need to be in the interest of the community. you can terminate a lease in order to use the property for your family. but that is pretty much the only exception. and even that can be limited if the tenant would loose their job if they had to move or would be forced to send the kids to another school. both are considered highly disruptive and against the interest of society, so tenants are protected from that. as long as the tenant is in such a situation you have no chance of getting them out. germany does this in order to provide stability for families and the community. Why it's any of your business? again, not mine, but the governments. by forcing a tenant to move you are acting against the interests of the community. Thanks, I'll pass there are many reasons not to want to live in germany. i don't live there either for reasons, but tenant protection is not one of them
