Commercial tenancy law (§ 578 BGB in conjunction with other BGB norms) reveals fundamental differences concerning security deposits compared to highly regulated residential tenancy law. For commercial landlords in Rhineland-Palatinate, this means significantly more negotiating leeway and security-policy design freedom.
Permitted Forms of Commercial Deposits
The security needs of the parties can also be shaped differently from a cash deposit in commercial spaces. Common alternatives include:
- Bank Guarantees (Aval): Very common. The tenant deposits no cash but provides an open-ended (until the return of the property) and often self-pledging guarantee ("guarantee on first demand") from their principal bank.
- Pledging of savings accounts or securities accounts.
Return and Offsetting Deadlines
Commercial tenancy law, just like residential tenancy law, does not demand an "immediate" return of the deposit on the day the keys are handed over. The landlord is granted an inspection and consideration period (often 3 to 6 months; sometimes even longer than in residential if high utility adjustments are expected), during which they may offset claims.
Commercial lease agreements almost always regulate this settlement deadline individually; clauses stipulating a contractually fixed holding period of up to 6 months after move-out are common in practice and generally permissible under AGB law.
