Extracted by Omnilex
The plaintiffs’ action was dismissed by the Bonn Local Court. The judgment gives no further factual background and was issued without a statement of facts under § 313a(1) ZPO. On the utility-cost settlement issue, the court stated that a landlord may still assert claims on the basis of a settlement issued after the one-year period if the landlord proves that it was sent to the tenant by post within the required period. Costs were imposed on the plaintiffs, and the judgment was declared provisionally enforceable.
BGB § 556 Abs. 3 sentence 3; timely dispatch of a utility-cost settlement. A landlord may rely on a settlement issued after expiry of the one-year period where the landlord proves that the settlement was sent to the tenant by post within that period. The tenant’s assertion that the settlement was not received does not, by itself, preclude the landlord from asserting claims where timely mailing is established.
