I wonder if you can help me with this: my flat's contract has been cancelled due to reconstruction of the building and the apartments. The "Verwaltung" gave me 9 months notice period, so that is quite fine. Still, my flat has a great location for a reasonable price and it would be great to stay or at least to move back. However if I have to sign a new contract, prices will be much higher. Has any of you had any similar experience? Any advice what I could do about this? If yes, please PM me. Thanks!

Seen them yet for legal advice ?
