According to the BGH, the enforcement against a subtenant not referred to in the title of the clearance is not permitted. Munich, should not be the enforcement of an eviction itself in November 2008 against other than the persons referred to in the title, if beyond any reasonable doubt, that the main tenant of the creditor is obliged to surrender of the leased sees the Munich law firm Auer Witte Thiel in the judgment for the landlord to give a further difficulty offending rent debtor out of the apartment. The German Federal Supreme Court strengthens with his decision by August 14, 2008 (REF. I ZB 39/08) the rights of living in the apartment, the landlord often especially not known lodger in the context of the enforcement of the eviction. The decision concerns the question, whether execution against one in the title of the eviction the Supreme Court not named lodger is allowed this question answered in the negative, even if the suspicion is that the ownership of the leased property only was granted the third, so the lodger, to thwart the eviction of the main tenant. Auer Witte Thiel sees a significant disadvantage of the interests of landlord defaulting tenants the judgment provides the opportunity to delay an imminent eviction for months without that payments be made.

Because the Supreme Court confirms: A clearance enforcement of the lessor against a subtenant not referred to in the title of the clearance is also inadmissible for the Federal Court of Justice, if the rental agreement between the landlord and the principal tenant is terminated and the subtenant to the publication of the leased property would be required. It is even irrelevant whether doubts as to the credibility of the subtenants are according to the BGH. A bailiff has to examine whether it faithfully and faith not”goes against a lodger refers only to a right of ownership, because he wants to prevent enforcement in conjunction with the evacuation of debtor.
