Rent increase received: quick check and deadline for consent

Excerpt of the rent increase use case: three quick-check questions and the deadline for consent.Enlarge image

The excerpt shows the quick check on a rent increase with three yes/no questions: whether the landlord is already threatening to sue, whether the increase is justified by modernization and whether the consent deadline has almost expired. You answer the questions without signing in. Below, the “Deadline in view” box sums up: you can consider until the end of the second calendar month after receipt whether you consent; if you do not consent, the landlord can sue for consent within three further months. The page cites § 558b BGB (German Civil Code) as the basis.
