Strange issue
Dear Friends,
I am facing a strange situation. I shifted to a new apartment near dussseldorf. The apartment has an open park platz and one of the park no. was alloted to me by my vermieter.
In the first weekend after my shifting, I found big scratches on my car. I immediately reported the incident to police, the next day again I found more scratches, I again did a report.
After that I stopped parking on that place and shifted to a new free parking which is few meters away from my house. Nothing happened for few days, so I again started parking in the alloted parking space in hope that nothing will happen.
But after a week again I found two more scratches and now even the tyre was punctured.
I again did a police complaint, but police says that they cant do much in this case. I have no idea why this is happening, The limited interaction which I have with neighbour is very friendly and without any problem.
I cant do much as I am still learning the language, and cant explain my situation easily to neighbours or to the hausmeister.
The vermieter is also not helping and I have a minimum contract of six months.
Do you guys have any experience in dealing with this kind of situation, looking forward to your suggestions.
Thanks,
Punar

Hi Punar,
talk to your Landlord and tell him that you would like to find a replacement tenant. Then go to a few Police stations and ask if you can put a sign of a "room for rent" there.
Cheers,

Re: Strange issue
Hi,
Thanks for your message.
I am not sure if I would like to suggest anybody living near tó this kind of neighbour, actually it seems that the vermieter knew about the problematic neighbour that#s why he insisited on minimum six months contract.
Even the old tenant had a problem.

Re: Strange issue
I think I have read in newspaper, in case the environtment around apartment can fulfill german living standard, such as:
- very loud neighbour, etc.
Actually you can reduce the payment to your landlord.
why don't you talk with your landlord and then said, if he doesn't offer some solution, you tend to go to lawyer.
Normally, people here will become more cooperative (if it is their fault)

Re: Strange issue
Hi,
as VP said you can exercise your right to reduce the rent, specially if the Vermieter knew about the situation but kept quiet.

As the third link says, very serious cases may justify terminating the contract immediately, but due process must be followed.
