House purchase - problems with the transaction - experiences, tips?

Are you getting the 2000€ back now?

I mean, the tenant is fulfilling his part of the agreement and moving out. He will hardly want to give the money back.

Why should he? The landlord surely won't waive his two (or basically all) months' rent either if he doesn't want to sell. The agreements are somehow all void.

Wow, thank you so much for all the answers!!! I will keep you informed about everything as soon as I have news....

Would you also like to answer the question directed at you? For example, the one about financing?

A sale is only completed once the notarized purchase contract has been signed. Until then, the seller can freely decide over their property.

Whether you will get the money back from the current tenant will ultimately be determined. It will depend on whether you can also provide proof of payment. Was there a contract regarding this?

You can assert claims for damages against the real estate agent in case of breach of secondary obligations. In particular, I see here the duties of disclosure, consultation, verification, and inquiry. However, since liability issues are generally decided on a case-by-case basis, you should consult a knowledgeable specialist lawyer.

An out-of-court settlement in the form of a mediation procedure between you and
- the real estate agent
- the tenant
- the seller
would be possible.

Whether you will get the money back from the current tenant will ultimately have to be seen. It will depend on whether you can also prove the payment.

Yes, and even if that is the case: The tenant receives €2000 for their own termination of the rental agreement. Money has flowed, the rental contract was terminated, the tenant moves out. Deal done, end of story.

So what, even if: The tenant receives €2000 for his termination of the rental agreement. Money has been exchanged, rental contract was terminated, tenant moves out. Business concluded, end of story.

Is that so? Do you have a crystal ball?
