Legal disclaimer
Last updated: 2026-04-20
1. No legal advice
lawcheck.io is an automated information service. It provides a general, machine-generated overview of German residential rental contracts based on publicly available legal texts (BGB §§ 535–580a) and court decisions. The analysis is informational only and does not constitute legal advice within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz, RDG).
The service does not replace an individual legal consultation with a licensed lawyer (Rechtsanwalt). If you need legal advice, representation, or a binding assessment of your situation, please consult a qualified lawyer or a recognised tenants' association (Mieterverein).
2. No guarantee of accuracy
The analysis is produced by a large language model (LLM). LLMs can generate incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information. We make no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of the analysis for any particular purpose.
In particular, highlighted clauses may be valid despite being flagged, and problematic clauses may remain undetected. Cited legal provisions and court decisions should always be verified in the original sources before you act on them.
3. No retainer or client relationship
Using lawcheck.io does not create a lawyer–client relationship. We do not represent you, negotiate on your behalf, or advise you on your specific case. Any communication through this service is not protected by attorney–client privilege.
4. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the operator of lawcheck.io is not liable for any damages arising from the use of, or reliance on, the information provided by this service. This includes — but is not limited to — financial losses, missed deadlines, adverse court outcomes, or decisions based on the automated analysis.
Liability for intent and gross negligence remains unaffected, as does liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and for injury to life, body, or health.
5. Scope
The service is designed for private residential rental contracts (Wohnraummietverträge) under German law. It is not suitable for commercial leases, short-term rentals, or contracts governed by other jurisdictions.
6. Links
This site may link to external websites. We do not control and are not responsible for their content.
7. Applicable law
German law applies. Place of jurisdiction is the operator's registered seat, to the extent permissible.
