Ordering principle (‘Bestellerprinzip’) – Who benefits from it? Who does it harm? Upheaval in the Austrian real estate market?
In this episode of the Wolf Theiss Soundshot Podcast, real estate law experts Partner Birgit Kraml and Partner Peter Oberlechner discuss the ordering principle (‘Bestellerprinzip’) and the letting of residential property in the Austrian market together with the Managing Director of EHL Wohnen GmbH, Karina Schunker.
Until now, the broker fees for renting have usually been paid by the landlord and tenant. With the planned introduction of the ordering principle (‘Bestellerprinzip’ – to be passed in March), broker fees will be borne by the first person to commission the broker – thus primarily by landlords. Who benefits from this amendment? Who will it harm?
Find out in the new Soundshot episode – available in German – what effects the new law will have on the individual parties.

Bestellerprinzip – Wem nutzt es? Wem schadet es? Umbruch am österreichischen Immobilienmarkt?
In dieser Folge des Wolf Theiss Soundshot Podcasts diskutieren die ImmobilienrechtsexpertInnen Partnerin Birgit Kraml und Partner Peter Oberlechner gemeinsam mit der Geschäftsführerin der EHL Wohnen GmbH, Karina Schunker, über das “Bestellerprinzip” und die Vermietung von Wohnimmobilien am österreichischen Markt.
Bisher wird die Maklergebühr bei der Vermietung in der Regel von Vermieter und Mieter bezahlt. Mit der geplanten Einführung des “Bestellerprinzips” (das Gesetz soll im März beschlossen werden) sollen Maklerkosten von demjenigen getragen werden, der den Makler als Erster beauftragt – somit in erster Linie von Vermietern. Wem nützt die Novelle? Wem schadet sie?
Erfahren Sie in der neuen Soundshot Folge – verfügbar auf Deutsch – welche Auswirkungen das neue Gesetz für die einzelnen Parteien konkret mit sich bringt.
Bei Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung soundshot@wolftheiss.com .
