Germany is a country with a high rate of burglaries. Break-ins occur everywhere. From student apartments to prestigious villas, every conceivable type of property is targeted by burglars and thieves. Rental apartments are no exception.

Naturally, it is in the interest of both landlords and tenants that the burglary protection of a rental apartment be as comprehensive and high-quality as possible.

The legal situation in Germany tends to place the responsibility for high-quality burglary protection more on the tenant, because, from a purely legal standpoint, the landlord has largely fulfilled their obligation by providing a lockable apartment or entrance door.

The burglary protection and security standard that existed at the time the lease agreement was concluded is generally considered sufficient. Any additional security measures for the rental property are the responsibility of the tenant. Although landlords normally cannot object to the installation of security technology (after all, security needs vary from person to person), they may require the tenant to restore the property to its original condition when moving out.

In practical terms, this means that security devices and burglary protection measures may have to be removed again if necessary. Therefore, a clarifying discussion with the landlord is advisable and recommended. You are also welcome to involve security experts from Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich in such discussions. We would be happy to convince your landlord of the necessity of burglary-resistant measures, which ultimately increase the security level and therefore the value of the property.
