Deadlines for Tenants in Austria
As a tenant in Austria it is important to know and respect deadlines for repairs, estimates, terminations and legal protection cases. This guide explains clearly which deadlines apply for reporting defects, timeframes for landlords to carry out repairs, returning the security deposit and starting legal actions. I describe practical steps on how to document damage, set reasonable deadlines and submit required forms on time. The information is based on Austrian tenancy law and shows when you should contact the district court or legal protection. The aim is to give tenants clear instructions so deadlines are not missed and rights are preserved. If you are unsure which deadline applies to your case, this page offers concrete examples and links to official sources.
