Das Berliner Landgericht hat am Freitag entschieden, dass Vermieter die Untervermietung eines Zimmers zur Aufnahme von Geflüchteten erlauben müssen. Dies begründete das Gericht mit einem berechtigten Interesse der Mieterin, unter Verweis auf die Rechtsprechung des Bundesgerichtshofs (BGH). Die Klägerin hatte gegen die Vermieterin ihrer 85 Quadratmeter großen Drei-Zimmer-Wohnung geklagt. Sie wollte ein Zimmer an eine Geflüchtete aus dem ukrainischen Kriegsgebiet untervermieten und selbst in der Wohnung weiter wohnen. In erster Instanz hatte das Amtsgericht der Vermieterin Recht gegeben und die Untervermietung abgelehnt. Es argumentierte, dass die humanitären Motive der Klägerin kein eigenes, berechtigtes Interesse an der Untervermietung begründeten. Das Landgericht …

The Berlin district court decided on Friday that landlords must allow the subletting of a room to take out refugees. The court justified this with a legitimate interest of the tenant, referring to the case law of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH).

The applicant had sued the landlord of her 85 square meter three-room apartment. She wanted to sublet a room to a refugee from the Ukrainian war zone and continue to live in the apartment.

In the first instance, the district court had rightly agreed to the landlord and rejected the subletting. It argued that the applicant's humanitarian motives did not establish its own, legitimate interest in subletting. The district court now changed the judgment of the first instance.

It was found that the plaintiff rightly claimed that there is hardly a personally interest than to align and shape his private life and trade according to its own basic ethical beliefs. The district court thus judged in favor of the applicant.

The Society for Freedom Rights (GFF), which had supported the lawsuit, described the judgment on Instagram as a clear sign of solidarity, social commitment and helpfulness.

This decision is of a far -reaching importance for landlords, since they can be obliged to allow sublet to be subled. The legitimate interest of the tenants plays a significant role. The verdict shows that personal beliefs and commitment to other people can be taken into account when renting.

It remains to be seen how case law will fail in similar cases in the future. In any case, the judgment of the Berlin Regional Court is an important signal for solidarity and helpfulness in society.
