Family Moratschke punished with termination despite the vermin infestation!

Stendal, Deutschland - in Stendal, the Moratschke family makes headlines, and not on an encouraging occasion. They have been living in their rental apartment for seven years, but a serious problem has made their living situation into a burden. The apartment is affected by vermin, specifically by cockroaches and mice - a state that is a legitimate reason for rent reduction for many tenants. According to the Deutsche Rechtrecht , affected people have the right to reduce rent in such cases, since the insecurity affairs considerably the use of housing impaired.

But instead of offering help, the family is now faced with a termination of the landlord without notice. The latter justifies the termination with a supposed abuse report by the Moratschkes and the associated disturbance of the trouble. This is all the more explosive when the family has already turned to the property management to tackle the problem - but without success. The symptoms seem to be wasted in nothing, and when they contacted the press, the family promptly received the termination, as allegations and legal steps The situation is unbearable for Franziska Moratschke and her husband, who live in the apartment with her six children. Especially since they note that the vermin problem began two years after the move in and that this plague continues to this day. The former tenant, Melanie Goll, underpins this with her own experience: she had to struggle with cockroaches just two weeks after she moved in.

With their termination, the family is not only banned from a house, but also a clarification of eviction. In order to defend itself against these measures, the family has obtained legal assistance and made an objection to the termination. In addition, you are assumed that you are responsible for the vermin infestation, which is with regard to applicable Rentrecht . Landlords are obliged to leave their apartments in a perfect condition and to be responsible for damage, provided that they were informed about existing problems at the time the contract is concluded.

The effects on the affected tenants

The matter is also complicated by the fact that around 20 to 30 percent of the approximately 200 apartments in the residential complex are also affected. Tenants who are not allowed to lend a hand in such situations could still suffer health damage, as is the case with hygiene or is the case. Furniture and food are also at risk where the vermin infestation can cause serious damage.

The Moratschkes are therefore exemplary for many tenants who are in similar life situations. The landlord's procedure raises a few questions: How far is the tenant's right to be sure? And what can affected families do to tackle such injustices? The quality of living and the well -being of the tenants should always come first in a social community - also in Stendal.
