when must 

the landlord 

the 

PVC floor 

renew? 

Nowadays there are only a few rental apartments in which carpeting is laid. Landlords install easy-care floor coverings in their rental properties before they rent them out. This includes the PVC floor, laminate or tiles. These are easy to clean and stains are quickly removed. This is not so easy with carpet floors. It is best for the landlord to go with neutral colored flooring that will complement all the furniture, and quality should also play a role in ensuring the flooring lasts. The landlord is not obliged to have the floor covering in the rented apartments renewed every few years. However, numerous landlords do this because the apartment is visually upgraded and it is easier to rent the apartment again. However, the landlord can also agree with the tenant when replacing the floor covering if they would like to have a different color or a type of PVC floor. PVC tiles, or click tiles to be more precise, are particularly popular, as they offer numerous advantages for landlords and tenants. If you need support in this regard or have questions about a high-quality PVC floor covering, you can contact the company Turn to Schaub and Son . 

The floor covering in rented apartments should be easy to care for and robust

The flooring that the landlord chooses should be one that is easy to install. If the tenant wants to lay another floor covering while he is living in the rented apartment, the existing one can be easily removed and is not damaged, this is especially the case with PVC floors. If the tenant moves out of the apartment, he has to reinstall the floor covering laid by the landlord, which is particularly easy with PVC flooring. The landlord is not obliged to rent an apartment with a floor covering. Some also rent out their rental apartments without this, since tenants would also like to lay out the floor coverings according to their own taste. This saves the landlord from laying the floor, which may then be removed by the tenant and may show signs of damage. Important is, what is specified in the rental agreement on the subject of flooring. This can be designed differently. The rental agreement should be read carefully so that there is no dispute between the landlord and the tenant after the tenant has signed and moved in. for example because of the floor covering.



New flooring when moving in

If a landlord equips his rental apartment with a PVC floor, he is obliged to replace it if it looks shabby or is worn. This is stipulated in Section 535 Paragraph 1 of the German Civil Code. The lessor must keep the rental property in such a condition that it can be used in accordance with the contract. There are landlords who try to pass on the costs to the tenants by turning the installation into a cosmetic repair. You are not allowed to do that. Newly laid floor coverings do not fall within the scope of cosmetic repairs, based on tenancy law. Such clauses in the contract are not effective. However, these regulations only apply to rental apartments that have a standard floor covering. If a tenant has provided the rented apartment with a floor covering on his own initiative, he must also bear the costs for this. If the floor covering is worn out, the Lessor must replace it with the same type of floor covering, the same color and the same quality. It is laid by professionals.

The optimum material and ambient temperature is between 15 and 25°C. Since polypropylene expands when heated, a distance to fixed components (walls, pillars, door sills, passageways, etc.) should be planned. Our recommendation: The expansion joint should be 1% of the total length and at least 3 cm. In order to enable expansion in areas of approx. 50 m² or more, we recommend planning expansion parts in addition to the all-round expansion joint. notice The optimum material and ambient temperature is between 15 and 25°C.

The renovation and maintenance of the rented apartment is basically the responsibility of the landlord. When the floor covering is considered to be worn out depends on its lifespan and service life. In the case of a PVC floor, the Wiesbaden Regional Court decided that the usual service life is 10 years. It depends on where the PVC floor is laid, in which room and what kind of traffic it was exposed to 

exceptions prove the rule 


However, the floor covering only has to be replaced by the landlord if the PVC floor is really worn out. If it is not after the time specified by law, it does not have to be replaced. However, this also means that the landlord only has to replace the floor covering after the deadline has expired, even if it is already worn down beforehand. In the case of soil damage, it depends on who caused the soil damage. If the tenant is to blame for the damage, he also bears the costs for the new floor. For all conversions, i.e. if the PVC floor is to be replaced by a carpet, the tenant may only do this with the consent of the landlord. In addition, the tenant must bear the costs for this. The landlord can remove the floor laid by the tenant when the tenant moves out.  

Renewing PVC floors, what else you should know

The landlord may also renew the floor covering in the apartment during an existing tenancy, if he so wishes, without the consent of the tenant. He can also decide what color the floor covering should have and what quality is used. However, this only applies if the floor covering is replaced with the same type of floor covering. The landlord cannot simply replace a PVC floor with a carpet. To do this, he needs the consent of the tenant who is currently occupying the apartment. If a tenant makes excessive demands on a PVC floor laid by the landlord, the tenant is the one who must also bear the costs for a new floor covering. This applies when the PVC floor is very dirty, extremely stained or extremely damaged. This means that the PVC floor shows such extreme damage that that go beyond normal wear and tear. If the floor covering is extremely scratched by animals, for example, or has been damaged by excrement, this also constitutes a breach of contract of the rented property.
Legally, this is considered a violation of title of the landlord's rented property. This is then entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the individual case. Various criteria are used for the calculation. These include the age of the flooring and the extent and severity of the damage. If the tenant moves out and leaves behind a damaged floor covering, the landlord can demand compensation from the tenant.
A landlord can save a lot of trouble and money if he uses PVC click tiles, because they are easy to lay, robust and durable. However, should a PVC tile need to be replaced, it is not necessary to replace the entire floor covering, just the defective tile alone.
