Governed by the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), commercial tenancy law in Germany (and therefore in Rhineland-Palatinate) is primarily based on the general provisions concerning lease agreements (Sections 535-548). While the BGB became effective on 1 January 1900, commercial law operates on the principle of extensive freedom of contract, meaning the lease agreement is the primary source of legal rights and duties, with fewer social protections compared to residential leases. Because the legislature assumes that commercial parties (B2B) interact on equal footing, specific provisions related to residential tenancy (Sections 549-577a) are largely excluded or modified for commercial properties, as stipulated by § 578 BGB.
