Guides for property managers
Every guide is based on the wording of the law itself and official sources, with each paragraph cited and linked.
- Preparing the move-out inspection: a manager's checklist (2026)
What to do before, during and after the Abnahme: records, procedure, deadlines, and the one entry that can accidentally bar all your claims.
- Documentation duties towards owners (2026)
Information, accounting, surrender: what a property manager owes the owner (§§ 666, 667 BGB), and why handover records belong to the client, not the manager.
- Deposit settlements without disputes: a manager's guide (2026)
Which items hold: filter out wear, apply current value, keep the deadlines, how a Kaution settlement becomes comprehensible instead of contested.
- Tenant turnover: process and deadlines for managers (2026)
Tenant turnover step by step: pre-inspection, return, deposit settlement and re-letting, with every deadline that runs for a property manager.
- The handover record for property managers (2026)
One standard across the portfolio: what every handover record must contain, who has to prove what, and the deadlines that run for property managers.
- Digitising the handover: what managers actually gain (2026)
Paper, phone photos or a sealed report: what digitising the handover really delivers, evidential weight, standardisation, and the data-protection questions.
