If you
cannot
keep
a planned
move-out date
due to Corona
, you have to
hope
for the
goodwill of the landlord
.
Because there is no legal right to postpone the move because of the corona pandemic.
If you
cannot or do not want to use
a
rental agreement that has
already been concluded
due to Corona, in case of doubt it depends on the individual case.
An exception could possibly be that the person moving is in
quarantine
or that a move
should take place in an area classified
as a
risk
area
by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
.

Corona suspected or quarantine - can I still move?
If you or someone else in your household is in
quarantine
at the time of the move,
you will
unfortunately
not be able to
move
.
A
corona suspicion also
prevents the move.
Before you move, remember to find out about the current corona measures on the website of the federal government and on the website of the RKI about the current incidence in your region.
Because changes at short notice can affect the planning and implementation of your move.
