Court rules: Tenants are allowed to stay in the apartment despite notice of termination for their own use. Even if the notice oftermination for personal use is effective, tenants do not necessarily have to move out.

Higher rent and continuation limited to two years - so the tenants will probably have to moved out sooner or later. However, the judgment is not yet legally binding, as it only applies to the Berlin district court in January 2024 (Az. 67 S 264/22) The tenants applied for a large number of apartments in the Berlin city area for almost two years, but were unsuccessful.
