MODERATORS
Around here, they may not be able to arbitrarily throw me out, but they can decline to offer a new fixed-term lease when the current one expires, and rent automatically doubles if a fixed-term lease is not signed. Is that not a thing in Germany?
next to no one gets fixed term leases here, and I think even if you would, after certain time, by law it implicitly changes into an open-ended one
It implicitly changes to an open-ended one here too, but again, at double the rent. It's obviously meant to coerce tenants into continuing to sign fixed-term leases and agreeing to whatever new terms the landlord feels like imposing.
I envy you, that you actually have substantial protection under the law from malicious landlords.
There are just 4 or 5 legal reasons for a fixed term contract which have to be specified, and after a few (2 or 3) renewals (or the landlord lying about the reason), the contract becomes open end automatically.
