Rights and obligations in connection with rent indexation
In this episode of the Wolf Theiss Soundshot podcast, our two real estate law experts Marion Schimböck and Elisabeth Werginz take a closer look at rent indexation in relation to the current inflation rate in Austria.
The majority of tenancy agreements contain value adjustment clauses that entitle landlords to increase the rent. However, since the current inflation rate is already a massive financial challenge for many, the question arises whether rent – provided a value adjustment clause has been properly agreed to in the lease – may be adjusted by the landlord even in the event of an exceptionally high inflation rate.
Can tenants possibly object to an increase in their rent payment obligation? Is it possible for landlords to waive an increase in rent within the framework of their private autonomy, and what is the legal situation if the landlord is not a private person but a corporation?
Find out the answers to these and other questions in our newest Soundshot episode – available in German.

Rechte und Pflichten in Zusammenhang mit der Mitzinsindexierung
In dieser Folge des Wolf Theiss Soundshot Podcasts setzen sich unsere beiden Immobilienrechtsexpertinnen Marion Schimböck und Elisabeth Werginz mit der Mietzinsindexierung in Zusammenhang mit der aktuellen Inflation näher auseinander.
Im Großteil der Mietverträge sind Wertanpassungsklauseln vereinbart, welche die Vermieter zur Anhebung des Mietzinses berechtigen. Da die derzeitige Inflation aber für viele bereits ohnehin eine massive finanzielle Herausforderung bedeutet, stellt sich die Frage, ob der Mietzins – vorausgesetzt eine Wertsicherungsklausel wurde im Mietvertrag ordnungsgemäß vereinbart – vom Vermieter selbst bei einer außergewöhnlich hohen Inflationsrate angepasst werden darf.
Können Mieter einer Anhebung ihrer Mietzinszahlungspflicht eventuell Einwendungen entgegenhalten? Ist es Vermietern möglich auf eine Erhöhung des Mietzinses im Rahmen ihrer Privatautonomie zu verzichten und wie sieht die Rechtslage aus, wenn es sich beim Vermieter um keine Privatperson, sondern um eine Kapitalgesellschaft handelt?
Die Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen erfahren Sie in unserer Soundshot Folge – verfügbar auf Deutsch.
Bei Fragen stehen wir Ihnen jederzeit gerne unter soundshot@wolftheiss.com zur Verfügung.
