This policy is in place to maintain the integrity of our mid-term, fully furnished, and all-cost-inclusive housing solutions. Subletting any property under a KUMMUNI lease will result in the immediate termination of your tenancy and could lead to serious legal consequences, including a lawsuit filed by KUMMUNI.

Legal Implications of Subletting in Germany #

According to German law, a tenant may sublet their property under specific circumstances, such as experiencing financial difficulties. However, this is only permitted with the explicit consent of the landlord. Without this consent, subletting is not only a violation of your rental contract but can also be considered illegal. Specifically, subletting without the landlord’s permission can be viewed as a breach of contract, which can lead to eviction and potential legal action. In some cases, unauthorized subletting can also result in criminal charges under Section 291 of the German Civil Code (BGB) if it is associated with fraudulent behavior.
