General Terms and Conditions for Landlords
1. conclusion of contract
(1) In fulfilment of the order, the client shall receive offers from prospective tenants. This proof can be provided by telephone, in text or written form. Despite all due care, no liability can be assumed for correctness and completeness.
(2) The data of interested parties are confidential and intended only for the client. Disclosure to third parties requires the consent of HomeCompany. Should the client already be familiar with a prospective tenant, the HomeCompany must be informed.
(3) The conclusion of a rental agreement (oral/written) with any of the disclosed tenants must be reported to the HomeCompany.
(4) If, due to the proof, an additional or different transaction occurs instead of the originally intended one, and the HomeCompany has proven or mediated the possibility of concluding this transaction, the HomeCompany is entitled to the commission based on the transaction(s) concluded. The landlord is free to prove that the commission claim does not result from this.
2. fee
If a tenant is successfully found or placed, HomeCompany will charge a fee on the basis described in more detail in the appendix.
3. permission to rent
(1) If the landlord is not the owner of the residential property that is the subject of the contract, the landlord must obtain permission from his landlord to sublet all or part of the property. The landlord is solely responsible for this. The landlord undertakes vis-à-vis the agency to only offer the agency accommodation that is owned by the landlord or for which the landlord has previously obtained the landlord’s permission to sublet.
(2) The Landlord warrants that the residential premises offered to the Agency are not publicly subsidised or otherwise subject to price restrictions and may be let for less than 6 months at a time.
4. notification of the conclusion of a rental agreement
If a rental agreement is concluded for a commissioned object, the agency must be informed of this. The obligation to name the respective tenant of the commissioned property shall continue to apply for a period of 12 months from the end of this contract in the event of letting after the end of the contract.
5. photo and video material and processing of data of the commissioned objects
(1) The agency is authorised but not obliged to photograph or film the interior of the commissioned objects and to use these photos or video recordings (hereinafter referred to as image material) for the presentation of the commissioned objects. This image material can be published on the Internet, among other places. Even if a tenancy agreement is not concluded, the agency shall be entitled to retain the landlord’s contact details, the address of the commissioned property, the associated photographic material and exposés for a period of one year after termination of the contract and to process them for its own contractual purposes. The obligation to retain data under other laws remains unaffected.
(2) Insofar as the Lessor provides photographic material relating to the commissioned property, the Lessor shall grant the Agency simple rights of use to the photographic material free of charge for the brokerage activity. The non-exclusive right of use extends to all actions necessary to present and disseminate the commissioned objects in the form of advertisements and exposés in print and online media. This also includes the omission of the author’s name and the permission to mark the image material with a visible watermark or logo of the agency.
(3) The landlord guarantees that the image material provided by him is free from third-party rights or that the landlord has been granted the rights to use it under the aforementioned conditions. Should a claim be made against the agency for infringement of the rights of third parties in relation to the image material provided by the lessor, the lessor shall indemnify the agency against all reasonable costs associated with this.
6. energy certificate
The landlord is aware of the obligation to reproduce the energy performance certificate in the exposé and advertisements. The landlord shall indemnify the estate agent against all claims arising from incorrect information or information not provided by the landlord in the course of brokering the property, insofar as the landlord has requested publication despite the lack of information.
7 Duration and cancellation of the order
The verification contract is open-ended. It can be cancelled by either party subject to a notice period of two weeks. The cancellation must be in text form.
8. suspension of the verification contract for letting
The letting of the commissioned property does not terminate the contract of proof. Rather, the verification contract is suspended until the end of the current tenancy.
9 Liability of the agency
(1) The agency shall only provide evidence of opportunities to conclude rental agreements. The landlord is responsible for the final selection of the tenant and the conclusion of the tenancy agreement.
(2) The Agency, its employees and legal representatives shall therefore not be liable for simple negligence, unless injury to life, limb or health of a person is affected or the damage is based on the breach of a material contractual obligation. To the extent permitted by law, liability shall otherwise be limited to three times the value of the order. This does not apply to statutory liability under the Product Liability Act.
10. Schufa
The client authorises the broker to obtain SCHUFA information.
11. Nebenabreden und Salvatorische Klausel
Amendments and collateral agreements must be made in writing. This also applies to an amendment of this clause.
Should any part of these GTC or the verification contract be or become invalid, the remainder of the contract shall remain valid. The parties undertake to replace the invalid provisions with provisions that come closest to the original intention.
12 Choice of law and place of jurisdiction
This contract shall be governed exclusively by German law.
For disputes arising in connection with this contract or its validity, the courts with local jurisdiction for the agency’s registered office shall have exclusive jurisdiction, provided that the lessor is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law with its registered office in Germany. The exclusive jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts is also agreed if the lessor is an entrepreneur based in the European Union outside Germany, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland.
13. Datenschutzhinweis
The data provided will be stored in accordance with data protection regulations, taking into account tax and accounting obligations as well as supreme court rulings on commission claims.

2. the HomeCompany HSP GmbH, hereinafter referred to as HomeCompany, must be informed immediately of the conclusion of a rental agreement (verbal/written) for one of the advertised properties or with one of the advertised providers.

SCHUFA Clause for Rental Applications
I consent to the landlord transmitting data regarding the application for this rental agreement to SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden, and receiving information about me from SCHUFA.
Regardless, the landlord will also transmit data to SCHUFA regarding any outstanding claims against me (e.g., claim amounts following enforcement after a termination according to §§ 543 Abs. 2 Nr. 3, 569 Abs. 3 BGB or due to payment default under § 573 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 BGB). This is permitted under the Federal Data Protection Act (§ 28a Absatz 1 Sentence 1) if I have not fulfilled the owed performance despite its due date, the transmission is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the landlord or third parties, and the claim is enforceable or I have explicitly acknowledged the claim.
Additionally, the landlord will also transmit data to SCHUFA regarding other non-contractual behavior (e.g., fraudulent or abusive conduct). These reports may only be made in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act (§ 28 Absatz 2) if they are necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the landlord or third parties, and there is no reason to believe that the affected individual’s legitimate interest in preventing the transmission outweighs the need for it.
SCHUFA stores and uses the data received. Utilisation also includes the calculation of a probability value based on the SCHUFA database to assess the credit risk (score). It transmits the data received to its contractual partners in the European Economic Area and Switzerland in order to provide them with information for assessing the creditworthiness of natural persons. SCHUFA’s contractual partners are companies that bear financial default risks due to services or deliveries (in particular credit institutions as well as credit card and leasing companies, but also rental, trading, telecommunications, energy supply, insurance and debt collection companies). SCHUFA only makes personal data available if a legitimate interest in this has been credibly demonstrated in the individual case and the transfer is permissible after weighing up all interests. Therefore, the scope of the data provided may vary depending on the type of contractual partner. In addition, SCHUFA uses the data to verify the identity and age of persons at the request of its contractual partners who, for example, offer services on the Internet.
I can obtain information from SCHUFA about the data stored about me. Further information about the SCHUFA information and score procedure can be found at www.meineschufa.de .
The postal address of SCHUFA is: SCHUFA Holding AG, Privatkunden ServiceCenter, Postfach 10 34 41, 50474 Cologne, Germany
6. the law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Amendments and supplements must be made in writing. This also applies to the waiver of the written form requirement. There are no verbal agreements to this contract. Soweit der Auftraggeber als oder für einen Kaufmann handelt, wird als Gerichtstand Köln vereinbart. Should one of these provisions be or become invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
