House Rules

House rules are a document that sets out the rules for living together in a building. These rules can cover things like quiet hours, the use of common areas, or waste disposal. For example, house rules might state that loud music cannot be played after 10 PM.

For residents in Germany or Austria, it is important to know the house rules, as violations can lead to warnings or even termination of the lease. The legal basis can be found in the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly in §§ 535 ff. regarding lease obligations and §§ 554 ff. concerning tenant rights and duties.
