Modernisation Rent Increase – Tenancy lawyer
A rent increase after modernisation must be substantively and formally understandable. I assess the notice, calculation, and your response options.
For Modernisation Rent Increase, these points are especially important:
- ›Necessary repair costs cannot simply be passed on as modernisation without separation.
- ›Invoices, deduction of maintenance portions, and allocation between flats must be transparent.
- ›The increase must explain the measure, cost calculation, and monthly increase clearly.
- ›Statutory limits and a timely hardship objection may affect the increase.
The first step is to clarify: Whether genuine modernisation costs, maintenance shares, allocation, and statutory limits are correctly applied.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times.
