With the latest developments in the area of value adjustment, the legislator is now directly engaging in the discussion on managing inflation in existing lease agreements, a debate largely shaped by OGH case law. The new legislative initiatives – ranging from the Tenancy Value Adjustment Act (MieWeG) to the Civil Law Indexation Adjustment Act (ZIAG), as well as amendments to the MRG, RichtWG, ABGB, and KSchG – cover a wide range of contractual arrangements and aim to provide greater structure and transparency.
In the current Construction & Real Estate Report, DSC Partner Nina Mitterdorfer and Associate Teresa Boyer provide a concise overview of the key legislative changes, contextualize the updates, and highlight what market participants should consider moving forward.
