Any further liability of the landlord pursuant to Section 536a BGB is expressly excluded, unless it is based on intent or gross negligence. Disruptions to the use of the rented property by other tenants or by other third parties (e.g. due to traffic detour, excavations, road closures, noise, odor or dust pollution or similar) shall not constitute a defect in the rented property, regardless of the extent, unless the landlord is responsible for them due to gross negligence or intent.

5. Liability of the tenant

Any damage must be reported to the landlord immediately. The tenant's liability shall be governed by the statutory provisions.

In the event of imminent danger (emergencies), the lessor is entitled to open and enter the compartment in any way he deems appropriate.

In order to comply with its environmental and fire protection obligations, the Lessor reserves the right to carry out spot checks in the form of inspection of the contents and stack height in the event of suspicious cases. The tenant is obliged to tolerate access for this purpose and to grant the landlord access.

8. Landlord's lien

The provisions of the statutory landlord's lien (§ 562 BGB) apply. The tenant confirms that he is the legal owner of the stored items.
