The Bonn Local Court dismissed both the claim and the counterclaim in a tenancy dispute concerning a possible discrepancy in living area. It stated that a hallway may count as living area where the tenant uses it beyond the ordinary extent, particularly by keeping substantial furniture there. Repayment claims based on a material living-area discrepancy are subject to the regular limitation period. For limitation to begin, it is sufficient that the tenant knows the actual lengths, widths, and heights of the rooms; this will generally be the case shortly after moving in. The plaintiff was ordered to bear one tenth of the costs and the defendant nine tenths.
BGB §§ 536, 812(1), 195 and 199; treatment of a hallway as living area and limitation of repayment claims based on a living-area discrepancy. Whether a hallway forms part of the living area depends on the circumstances of the individual case. Its use beyond the ordinary extent, particularly the storage of furniture on a substantial scale, may justify including it. Repayment claims arising from a material discrepancy in living area are subject to the regular limitation period. The limitation period begins when the claimant has the knowledge required under the applicable rules; knowledge of the actual lengths, widths and heights of the rooms is sufficient. Such factual knowledge will generally be acquired shortly after the tenant moves in.

Normen: BGB §§ 536, 812 Abs. 1, 195, 199
Ein Hausflur kann nach den Umständen des Einzelfalls dann zur Wohnfläche zählen, wenn der Mieter den Flur über das gewöhnliche Maß hinaus nutzt. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn dort in größerem Umfang Möbel abgestellt werden.
Rückforderungsansprüche aufgrund einer relevanten Wohnflächenabweichung unterliegen der Regelverjährung. Für den Beginn der Verjährungsfrist genügt es, dass dem Mieter die konkreten Längen, Breiten und Höhen der von ihm bewohnten Räume in tatsächlicher Hinsicht bekannt sind. Dies wird in der Regel kurz nach Einzug des Mieters der Fall sein.
Klage und Widerklage werden abgewiesen.
Die Kosten des Rechtsstreits tragen der Kläger zu 1/10 und der Beklagte zu 9/10.
Das Urteil ist vorläufig vollstreckbar. Der jeweilige Vollstreckungsschuldner kann die Vollstreckung durch Sicherheitsleitung in Höhe von 110 % des aufgrund des Urteils vollstreckbaren Betrages abwenden, wenn nicht der jeweilige Vollstreckungsgläubiger zuvor Sicherheit in gleicher Höhe leistet.
