Kaufland-Passage: Existence fight for Sigmaringer Kebab dealer!

Kaufland-Passage: Existence fight for Sigmaringer Kebab dealer!

Sigmaringen, Deutschland - in Sigmaringen Mahdi Hassani made drastic changes in his kebab and delicatessen Pizza Chili. Since the opening two years ago, he has invested a lot in his business, especially to fill a niche for vegetarian and vegan dishes. But the end of the lease agreement with Kaufland, which expires in July, presents him with massive challenges. He has already dismantled his delicat cost counter, which means a loss of around 80,000 euros over the entire time. The excerpt from the Kaufland Passage could also cost Hassani 30,000 euros, and he intends to start dismantling before June 14th, since the shops will open for the last time.

The Situation is not only difficult for him. Other traders in the Kaufland Passage, including a tobacco business and a hairdresser, also receive no clarity about their future. However, some shops such as the cardiac pharmacy and Apollo look seem to secure a continued existence. In theory, Hassani can continue to work under the new tenant Edeka, but so far he has not received a signal.

lease contracts and their importance

A lease is a legal framework that allows the tenant to use a room or a building commercially and to draw income from it. This stands out from a rental agreement that only permits the use. Special provisions according to the Civil Code (BGB) apply. Ideally, commercial space lease should be written in writing, especially in the case of fixed -term limits and for regulating the operating costs. Such a contract includes several essential points, such as the contracting parties, the description of the leasehold as well as lease period and termination periods

• Contracting parties: Identity of the lessor and tenant
• Lease object: Description and use of the object
• lease period and notice periods: regulations for duration and termination
• lease interest: height and payment modalities
• ancillary costs: regulation of the takeover
• Rights and duties: List of both parties

It is advisable to consult a lawyer to adapt the contract to specific needs. This can protect against legal problems and unexpected costs.

changes in commercial law

From January 1, 2025, new regulations apply to commercial rental law that reduce the requirements for the written form. In the future, the text form can be used, which could be a relief for entrepreneurs. The existing contract between Kaufland and the sub -tenants must be checked by this date so that no legal difficulties occur. Entrepreneurs should find out more about the rights and obligations of the contract design and ensure that all contract content is clearly documented.

Mahdi Hassani's experiences show the challenges that many traders have to cope with in the face of such changes. Despite the uncertainty, he remains optimistic and plans to search for new business opportunities in Constance, while he continues to commute from Constance to Sigmaringen every day.

The situation around the Kaufland Passage and the associated lease contracts is an example of how involved parties should critically examine their contracts and rights over time. This is particularly crucial for the long -term success of a company.
