What are my chances in the dispute with my neighbor?

Questioner

I have a separate storage room (for bicycles, etc.) from my home. A few years ago, one of my neighbors asked if he could use my storage room because I wasn't using it. Since I got along very well with him, I gave him permission. Two years ago, another neighbor told me that he had filled the room with rubble. I then asked the neighbor to empty the room because I wanted to use it. He kept coming up with an excuse to postpone it. It was too cold again, it was corona, etc. It's been taking so long now that I'm afraid he won't do it anymore. Now my question is whether I can legally force him to empty the room. I haven't put anything in writing. But neighbors could testify that he dumped his rubble in my storage room when he was renovating his home. I sent him a registered letter threatening further legal action, but he ignored it. Thank you in advance for your answer.

You can write to him again and then state that you will have the shed emptied by a professional party at his expense and delivered broom clean after x date. Any durable items will also be stored or sold at his expense.

In short, it can be said that it is still your storage room. You have agreed with the neighbor that he may use the storage room. This means that you can also terminate this agreement. If you have not agreed on this, this usually means that there must be a reasonable term of termination. If we assume for the sake of convenience of renting space (which is probably not the case) that would mean that there is a notice period of 1 month. After that there is still 2 months of eviction protection. You can send a letter stating that you want to use the storage again as of May 1, 2022 and request him to ensure that the storage is left empty. If there is still no response, you can proceed to eviction at some point. Please feel free to contact me via my profile if you have any questions or wish to discuss the matter further.
