A lease that is disadvantageous for the company is not invalid for that reason alone. Examine internal authority, the conduct of the contracting parties and the actual basis of knowledge separately.
If one insists on the continuing tenancy, one cannot automatically apply full compensation for use to the period later confirmed as terminated. Check intention, period and actual use.
Another possessor may require a new judicial examination. For § 940a paragraph 2 ZPO it is particularly important when you learned of the acquisition of possession and against whom the judgment is held.
A payment title does not yet name any realisable assets. Check the order, any earlier statement of assets and the limited further use of the received information.
A drop-off place in the building, the receipt option of a parcel service and voluntary neighbour acceptance each require separate clarification. A blanket building message does not answer these levels.
An offer for a complete final clean does not yet determine the required return condition. Check the agreed cleaning obligation and allocate each contested spot individually.
