The Company Tenancy Agreement is essential for establishing legally compliant commercial rental arrangements in Germany. This document is used when a business entity needs to lease commercial space for its operations, whether for office use, retail, industrial, or other business purposes. It must comply with German legal requirements, particularly the written form requirement (Schriftformerfordernis) under § 550 BGB, and includes comprehensive terms covering rent, operating costs, maintenance, permitted use, and other commercial considerations. The agreement typically requires more detailed provisions than residential leases due to the commercial nature of the relationship and often involves significant financial commitments and longer terms. It should address specific requirements of German commercial property law while protecting both landlord and tenant interests in a commercial context.
