Answers to what's most often asked.

The Quick Check is a free first overview in four questions. It shows which regulations apply to your situation without going into depth. The structured report (€29) is based on a 13-question form and delivers the in-depth analysis including rent-index comparison, borough authority assignment, and citations.

After completing the 13-question form, the report is generated within minutes and is available for download. A copy is also sent to the email address you provided.

As a PDF document for download and additionally as an email attachment. The report contains all sections with citations, rent-index values, and pointers to the responsible authorities — in a form you can review independently and, if needed, take to a lawyer appointment.

Yes. Within 14 days of generation, you can adjust your inputs once and receive an updated report without paying again.

Exclusively publicly available legal sources — applicable federal laws and regulations, supreme-court decisions, the Berlin rent index, and administrative regulations and official notices of the responsible Berlin authorities. Every statement in the report is attributed to its underlying source.

The 20-minute initial consultation through our partner firm costs €89. Representation beyond this — for instance in an active fine proceeding or an eviction case — is agreed directly with the firm under its fee schedule and is not part of the referral through MietSense.

A notice from the borough authority is a specific individual case whose legal assessment is reserved exclusively to lawyers. MietSense can present the underlying legal landscape in structured form but does not replace legal representation. In such a situation, the direct lawyer consultation is the appropriate stage — we arrange an appointment on short notice.

Whether a contractual clause is enforceable and what options you specifically have is a legal assessment of the individual case and therefore not the subject of our information service. The report shows which regulations — for instance § 540 BGB on the consent requirement — are in principle applicable to such a constellation. For the concrete assessment, the lawyer consultation is the right route.

We collect only what we actually need for the analysis — no names, no addresses, no contractual parties. Data is encrypted at rest, automatically deleted after 12 months, and not shared with third parties. Details in our privacy policy.

Our rule set is continuously adapted to new rulings, regulatory changes, and rent-index updates. Quarterly, our partner law firm reviews the state of the analytical logic. Every output includes the date of the underlying legal sources.
