The Registered Lease Agreement (eingetragener Mietvertrag) is a crucial document in German property law, used when parties seek additional security and legal certainty in their lease relationship through registration in the land register (Grundbuch). This type of agreement is particularly relevant for long-term commercial leases, high-value property rentals, or situations where tenants make significant investments in the property. The document must comply with § 550 BGB (German Civil Code) and registration requirements under the Grundbuchordnung (GBO). It includes detailed provisions for rent, operating costs, maintenance, and other obligations, while offering stronger protection against property sale or owner changes. The registration process involves notarization and submission to the land registry, making this a more formal and secure arrangement than standard lease agreements.
