Eviction Objection — Challenge Your Landlord's Termination
Create a professional objection letter against your landlord's termination notice. The AI drafts your objection under Section 574 BGB with hardship justification.
Important Tips
- Every tenant can object to an ordinary termination if ending the tenancy would constitute an unreasonable hardship (Section 574(1) BGB) — this applies to personal use evictions as well
- The objection must be in writing and received by the landlord at least 2 months before the notice period expires (Section 574b(1) BGB)
- The landlord must inform you of your right to object and the form and deadline requirements in the termination letter (Section 568(2) BGB) — if this is missing, you can still raise the objection in court proceedings
- Hardship grounds include: old age, illness, disability, pregnancy, school-age children, long-term roots in the community, no adequate alternative housing at reasonable conditions
Notice Period
The objection must reach the landlord in writing at least 2 months before the notice period expires (Section 574b(1) BGB). Example: termination effective June 30 — objection must arrive by April 30 at the latest. If the landlord did not inform you of your right to object, the objection can still be raised during eviction proceedings (Section 574b(2) BGB).

Frequently Asked Questions
Against which terminations can I object?
The objection under Section 574 BGB is possible against any ordinary termination by the landlord — including personal use and exploitation terminations. For immediate termination (e.g. for payment default under Section 543 BGB), the right to object does not apply. A successful objection leads to continuation of the tenancy for a definite or indefinite period if the hardship outweighs the landlord's interests.
What happens after the objection?
After receiving the objection, the landlord must decide whether to accept it or file an eviction lawsuit. The court then weighs the interests of both sides (Section 574a BGB). If hardship is justified, the court may continue the tenancy for a definite or indefinite period. You may remain in the apartment until a legally binding decision is made.
What hardship cases do courts recognize?
Courts have recognized the following hardship grounds: old age of the tenant (especially from age 80), serious illness or need for care, disability, pregnancy, upcoming exams, long-term tenancy (over 20 years) with community roots, school-age children who would need to change schools, and a tight housing market with no reasonable alternative apartment. A comprehensive hardship assessment is always made on a case-by-case basis.
