When winter brings snow and ice, this means that a landlord has to have snow ploughs and grit ready to start the snow clearing service if necessary.<\/p>\n
If tenants live in the building, they can be made responsible for the clearing service by a clause in the tenancy agreement, but the landlord still retains the obligation to monitor the correct execution. The legislator primarily protects the interests of bystanders. In the case of snow clearing services on private property, these must be safeguarded by landlords to the extent that the risk of injury is minimised.<\/p>\n If a passer-by injures themselves on the uncleared path in front of the house, they can claim compensation. Although these are covered by private liability insurance policies, it is well known that they try to pass on the payment obligation to the insured party whenever possible.<\/p>\n As a landlord, you should therefore be on your guard when it comes to hidden obligations. In such cases, the discretionary limits are often fluid, as a landlord must be able to prove negligent neglect of duties to his tenants.<\/p>\n They should therefore make sure that the duties are carried out responsibly, because in case of doubt they themselves are liable for any damage caused.<\/p>\n How often do you have to remove snow?<\/strong><\/p>\n The weather conditions determine whether it is necessary to sweep snow several times a day. The rule here is that pavements, house entrances and driveways must be cleared of snow and ice between seven and twenty o'clock, on Sundays and public holidays from nine o'clock in the morning. This means that it can be several times a day if a new layer of snow has formed.<\/p>\n Only if renewed snow clearing is unsuccessful because the snowfall is too heavy can you wait until the snowfall has calmed down.<\/p>\n This is where disputes can quickly arise if something should happen, so it is always better to have removed more snow than less.<\/p>\n Even when on holiday or when tenants or landlords work during the day, there is still an obligation to clear the paths. If you are unable to do this yourself, you must organise a replacement to take over the duties.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, even illness cannot release you from this obligation.<\/p>\n The regulations are therefore tough and inevitably mean that you have to deal with them, otherwise you will quickly lose out.<\/p>\n Especially in regions where heavy snowfall is to be expected in winter, it is therefore worth making sure that road sweeping is well organised before the start of winter and that the necessary grit, such as sand or granulate, is available. Salt, which is harmful to the environment, should no longer be used.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wenn der Winter Schnee und Eis bringt, bedeutet dies f\u00fcr einen Vermieter, dass er Schneesch\u00fcppe und Streugut bereithalten muss, um bei Bedarf den Sch\u00fcppdienst antreten zu k\u00f6nnen.
