German tenants rights?
Discussion
My Granddaughter and her husband are German citizens ( I`m a UK citizen ) They have rented this house for over five years, been model tenants, kept the property in good order, never had a problem. Now the landlord wants his house back and has given them three months notice.
Its in the Lippstadt- Geseke area, good family homes to rent are very difficult to find, property prices have gone through the roof.
What are their rights? can the landlord do this? any tips, advice and info would be appreciated. Naturally my Granddaughter is taking things up her end, I`m just a frustrated old Grandad living in the UK.
If this can alter things in their favour? they both have good jobs in the area, have two sons of school age. The eldest has passed and attends the Gymnasium Antonianum and is doing very well.

Just that my family will have to leave their home, they are very happy where they are. It’s not certain that they will find a similar property.
Ah. Not much I can usefully say then. Do they know why the landlord wants it back? Is he going to sell it, or use it himself?
Just an update guys.
Been talking to my Granddaughter, apparently the landlord wants his son and partner to have the house.They are expecting a baby and getting married. My Granddaughter has had advice, she is happy that everything is being done properly. They can stay until December if necessary.
Trouble is, there is nothing suitable in the area to rent at the moment. Simple four bed homes for sale start at 450,000 euros !! they could never afford a mortgage like that.
Thanks for all your input.

Thanks for your reply Al_Dente. My Granddaughter is still there and looking for an alternative. She has had advice and the way I understand it is that the landlord is doing things correctly and being reasonable. That does not help my Granddaughter and her family though, they do not want to move. Been there years, are model tenants, the eldest boy attends the local Gymnasium school and his brother his first school. They do not want to change schools.
They want to stay in Geseke and will not move until they have found a suitable alternative home.
The landlord can not kick them out onto the street can he?
