In Germany, apartments typically include a cellar or basement room, referred to as a Keller, which serves as additional storage space. While tenants can generally store various items, specific usage rights depend on lease agreements. If a tenant's contract does not explicitly state the allocation of a personal cellar room, they do not have guaranteed access. Landlords must clear these spaces before new tenants move in, ensuring they are free from leftover belongings of previous tenants. Additionally, tenants are subject to rules when it comes to the usage of the space for specific items like food.
Tenants can use the cellar in their German apartments for storage, but agreements on specific rooms must be stated in the lease contract.
The landlord is obligated to provide a cleared basement at tenancy start, ensuring no previous tenant's items remain.
