Tenancy law with AI: answers from the Civil Code

• Termination of a tenancy by the landlord: grounds under § 2288, notice period, information on the right to raise objections.
• Termination without a notice period under § 2291 and what constitutes a particularly serious breach.
• Security deposit: maximum amount under § 2254 and its return with interest.
• Rent increases under § 2249: limits, procedure, deadlines.
• Minor repairs and routine maintenance under the government regulation.
• Transfer of tenancy after the tenant's death, joint tenancy of spouses, subletting.

"The tenant hasn't paid rent for three months. What options do I have for termination, what deadlines apply, and what must the notice contain to be valid? Cite the Civil Code and NS [Supreme Court] rulings." The AI finds § 2291(2) and § 2288, flags the obligation to issue a notice to remedy and the information duty under § 2286, and adds rulings in which the court invalidated a notice for formal defects (Czech sources).

A manager with dozens of flats deals with the same questions repeatedly. It helps to set a standing instruction for the AI: "answer using the Europaius connector, cite the section, and state whether it is a mandatory provision that cannot be deviated from to the tenant's disadvantage". You can then send clients an answer with a reference to the law, not a general statement.

Contract and notice templates on Europaius are linked to the relevant sections; the AI helps you check your own template against the current wording and against case law on invalid clauses.

Anyone letting property in Austria, Germany or Slovakia needs the local rules. The corpus includes the legislation of these countries, so the AI can compare, for example, notice requirements in the Czech Republic and Austria and summarise the differences with links to the original text.
