Schleswig Holstein Fastighetsöverensstämmelse

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's northernmost state, features a unique aspect in its tenancy law: It was the very first German state to prematurely abolish the national rent brake (Mietpreisbremse) for new leases in November 2019. Consequently, landlords in cities like Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg, or popular coastal municipalities can generally set the rent for new leases freely according to the market. However, for existing leases, stricter rules regarding the rent increase cap (Kappungsgrenze) have applied in 62 designated municipalities since May 2024. This guide covers the essential compliance requirements for property owners and landlords.
