Rental law: What to do with built-in appliances?


Questioner

Rent a private home and had to install the built-in oven, built-in dishwasher and ceramic hob myself because there was nothing there. Now I'm moving and my landlord says I can't take it with me because it's stuck. Is that so?

Lawyer

At the end of the lease, you must return the property in the condition it was in at the start of the lease. If you can take the oven, dishwasher and hob you installed with you from the rented property without damaging it, the landlord cannot object to this.

Lawyer

Built-in appliances are generally considered immovable. It is often difficult to deliver in the original state. You can claim compensation from the landlord, especially since the landlord also considers the property as immovable.

Lawyer

in addition to the above; your landlord has been unjustly enriched with the current value of the built-in appliance by giving you permission to permanently combine a movable property component with the immovable property.
