Hamburg tenancy agreement, the model contract for legally secure tenancies

A standard tenancy agreement specifically for Hamburg tenancies is the so-called Hamburg tenancy agreement. It was developed by the Hamburg Landowners' Association. As a Hanseatic organisation representing the interests of private land and property owners, the model contract was originally created to provide assistance to its own members. Not only landlords but also tenants benefit from using the standardised Hamburg tenancy agreement. This is because the standardised tenancy agreement offers legal certainty for the entire housing market in Hamburg. But that's not all. Tenants and landlords of commercial property also have the opportunity to benefit from a commercial version of the Hamburg tenancy agreement. There is also a model contract for the letting of garages and car parks. All three Hamburg tenancy agreements have the same requirements and advantages. With Engel & Völkers Hamburg Elbe, you will also find fantastic flats and houses to rent or buy.
