Free legal information for consumers in Germany
RechtGuide makes complex German law understandable and accessible. Our free calculators and information tools help tenants and employees better assess their legal situation — easily, anonymously, and in 2 minutes.
All calculations are based exclusively on official, publicly accessible sources. We do not use AI-generated estimates or approximate values. Every number you see on RechtGuide can be traced back to a specific official publication.
6 free calculators and information tools for tenants and employees
Check whether your rent may possibly exceed the permissible limit — based on the official rent index for your city.
Calculate whether a rent increase notice could meet the statutory requirements — including the cap rate and comparative rent.
Have your operating cost statement checked for possible formal and substantive errors.
Assess whether a termination notice could meet the requirements of the Dismissal Protection Act (KSchG).

RechtGuide provides general legal information and not legal advice within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz, RDG). Calculator results are assessments based on official data and do not replace individual advice from a lawyer or tenants' association. For complex or disputed matters, we recommend seeking qualified legal counsel.
RechtGuide is a product of LIV Invest GmbH, based in Munich, Germany. Our goal is to give consumers simple, understandable access to legal information — free of charge and without barriers.
