This is a new building and there are several cracks in very different places.

Here are the questions for you:


    [*]What is the cause of this?
    [*]Will they become larger/wider?
    [*]How can this be counteracted, will they become unnoticeable in the long run?

Thank you in advance

A bit little information, right?

What kind of walls are those and what is stuck on the wall like that?

If I got one euro for every centimeter of crack, I could completely renovate my entire house.

Sorry, I am an absolute layman and unfortunately cannot provide any further information, except that the house was completed in 2017. It is a rental apartment ([Erstbezug]) that I have rented.

Then send these pictures to the owner.

After all, it is his problem and not primarily yours.

Is it a stone wall? Concrete wall? Wooden wall? Plaster? Wallpaper? Felt? Paint?

As already mentioned, unfortunately I am not familiar with this and I am now very frustrated about it because I would very much like to give you more information.

I assume that it is [Putz].

Why are you despairing over problems that (if at all) concern your landlord?

Send him the photos and wait for his reaction.

What I (layman) can tell you:

Cracks in new buildings are not uncommon, especially when it is only plaster (without wallpaper). Whether and when it becomes worrying, however, must be clarified by the landlord, not you.
