Frequently asked questions

How much deposit can the landlord demand?
At most three months' net cold rent — anything above that is not permitted (§ 551 Abs. 1 BGB, as of 2001).
Do I have to register after moving — and by when?
Yes. Registration at the residents' office is mandatory within two weeks of moving in (§ 17 Abs. 1 BMG, as of 2015). You need the move-in confirmation for it, which the landlord must also issue within two weeks (§ 19 Abs. 1 BMG, as of 2015).
I bought used privately with a 'sold as seen' clause — am I without rights?
No. The seller cannot rely on that exclusion if he fraudulently concealed a defect or gave a guarantee (§ 444 BGB, as of 2002); defect claims normally lapse only after two years (§ 438 Abs. 1 Nr. 3 BGB, as of 2002).
Can my employer dismiss me by e-mail or WhatsApp?
No. A dismissal is valid only with a hand-written signature on paper; the electronic form is excluded (§ 623 BGB, as of 2000). The basic notice period is four weeks, to the 15th or the end of the month (§ 622 Abs. 1 BGB, as of 1993).
Can the landlord terminate my lease without a reason?
No. The landlord needs a legitimate interest (§ 573 Abs. 1 BGB, as of 2001); you as tenant may give notice without any reason, with a three-month period (§ 573c Abs. 1 BGB, as of 2001).
I work freelance — when do I legally count as an employee (bogus self-employment)?
If you work bound by instructions, externally directed and in personal dependence, it is an employment relationship — regardless of what the contract says (§ 611a Abs. 1 BGB, as of 2017).

Why DUOLEXX instead of just asking an AI?

An AI writes text fast. That doesn't make it legally sound, bilingual and ready to sign. That's exactly the difference.

Grounded in local law

Every document follows the law of the chosen country — researched clauses, not a generic template from the web.

Authoritative language + translation

The binding version in the legal language, alongside an understandable translation. A chat rarely delivers both, soundly, at once.

Verifiable signature

Two-party signature with a SHA-256 integrity proof — provable that both signed the same wording.

Finished, not just text

PDF, signature, archive and share link in one flow — an AI chat only hands back raw text.
