Fixed vs Open-Ended Tenancy in Austria
Tenants in Austria often face the question whether their rental agreement is fixed-term or open-ended and what consequences follow. This text explains in plain language what rights and obligations tenants have, how termination and deadlines work, when rent adjustments are possible and what practical steps you can take if problems arise. The aim is to give you clear, actionable guidance as a tenant so you can meet deadlines, request necessary repairs and, if needed, assert your claims — without legal jargon and with regard to the rules of the MRG and Austrian court procedures.
