Karlsruhe - An owner may rent his apartment to holiday guests. This
was decided by the Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) in Karlsruhe, Berlin and
thus denied a homeowners association the right to prohibit such use.
Suffered in the opinion of judges in Karlsruhe, the Community must
lease, unless it was previously prohibited by a statement from the
landowner or by agreement of all owners. In this specific case, an
owner of his two homes in one plant had a daily or weekly basis leased
to tourists visiting Berlin. The other owners complained that
increases the anonymity and sense of security in the building take
off. (Ref.: V ZR 712/09)
According to the Federal High Court is contrary to the rental of the
apartment to holiday makers not to residential purposes. They
accepted, however, that there are differing opinions in this Court. In
your opinion, however, it is not an illegal commercial use. The Act
prescribes not that an apartment should be used exclusively for
housing. Is allowed as well as the use of engineering design office.

Positive impact of unscheduled mortgage loans

A real estate financing is usually for the long term. Pass until full repayment of the original loan amount, often up to 30 years. During the term, there are several periods for fixed-rate period, which shall then be drawn up for a period of years, eg 10 years. A switch to another financial institution with more favorable seller conditions is usually possible at the end of such a fixed-rate period.

An instrument to accelerate the debt is unscheduled. Even when signing a mortgage loan should be paid to the right of unscheduled. Some banks offer their customers on contracts made with the possibility of unscheduled, in others, customers have to specifically ask for it.

But what exactly means the unscheduled?
The unscheduled allows the borrower to provide annually up to a specified maximum sum additional principal payments and thus reduce the outstanding balance.
