Why this power of attorney is important for tenants:
In a tenancy, situations regularly arise in which representation is necessary. However, without a power of attorney, third parties may not act or accept declarations with legal effect. With this template, you ensure that your authorized representative is legally recognized and can act on your behalf – for example, when handing over the apartment, handing over keys or receiving important documents.
The power of attorney can be customized – for a limited period of time, for specific matters or comprehensively. A signed copy provides clarity for all parties involved.
