Document background
The One To Four Family Residential Contract serves as a standardized lease agreement for residential properties in Austria containing between one and four family units. This document type is specifically designed to comply with Austrian tenancy law, particularly the Mietrechtsgesetz (MRG) and the Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (ABGB). It is commonly used by property owners, management companies, and real estate professionals when leasing apartments or small multi-family properties. The contract includes mandatory provisions for tenant protection, rent calculation methods, maintenance responsibilities, and operating cost allocations as required by Austrian law. It also addresses specific requirements for multi-unit properties, such as common area usage and heating cost distribution, while incorporating necessary consumer protection provisions and registration requirements.
