The Joint Lease Agreement (Gemeinsamer Mietvertrag) is essential for situations where multiple tenants wish to rent a property together under German law. This document is commonly used for shared apartments, student housing, or family rentals where multiple adults will occupy the same property. The agreement explicitly establishes joint and several liability among tenants, meaning each tenant is fully responsible for all obligations under the lease. It must comply with German tenancy law (particularly the BGB §§ 535-577a), including strict tenant protection provisions, specific requirements for security deposits, and detailed operating cost allocations. The document includes comprehensive terms covering rent payments, maintenance responsibilities, notice periods, and property use conditions, while incorporating mandatory legal requirements specific to German residential leases.
