Transparency is not just good practice—it is the law, governed primarily by the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB), effective 1 January 1900. Failing to provide required energy stats can result in fines. You must disclose specific property details before the tenant signs the lease.
Energy Performance Certificate
You must present an 'Energieausweis' at the first viewing.
Rent Brake Disclosure (Mietpreisbremse)
Under § 556g BGB, if a rent brake is active, landlords must disclose the reason for exceeding the cap (e.g., prior rent, modernization) unsolicited and in writing before the tenant signs the lease.
Important: As of February 2026, the rent brake is active in the following municipalities in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern:
- Rostock (since October 2018)
- Greifswald (since October 2018)
In these areas, if you charge more than 10% above the local reference rent, you must disclose the statutory justification to the tenant beforehand.
Energy Performance Certificate Mandates
As mandated by the German Building Energy Act (Gebäudeenergiegesetz - GEG) § 80, landlords must unconditionally provide a valid Energy Performance Certificate (Energieausweis) to prospective tenants at the latest during the viewing and hand it over immediately after the conclusion of the lease agreement.
