A household liquidation, also known as apartment liquidation, is the evacuation of an apartment , including the associated ancillary rooms (cellar, attic) from the household effects of the owner, which is associated with the fact that the owner of the apartment no longer runs his own household. With regard to economics and official statistics, household dissolution represents a decrease in the number of private households .

The removal and disposal of unusable and worthless objects in the course of a household liquidation is also called clearing out . The objects to be disposed of are mostly bulky waste and other worthless household items . Household dissolution and clearing out are also the names of the service to carry out the household dissolution.

Occasions for the dissolution of the budget

The dissolution of the household may be necessary for various reasons: after a death , in the course of eviction from the apartment, when the resident moves to a nursing home or in the event of permanent placement in a psychiatric clinic . The household can also be dissolved before a long prison sentence or emigration begins .

execution

The work is carried out by the owner of the household effects - the owner of the apartment in question - or by third parties. For this purpose, an order can be made in a health care proxy. A waste management company can be commissioned with the implementation . Charitable institutions also offer help in this regard.

In many cases, well-preserved furniture and usable household items are donated in advance or sold via Internet marketplaces. There are portals and marketplaces for this, where in many cases there are interested parties who can pick up the items themselves before the apartment is closed.

If there is legal support for the person concerned , the supervisor must take care of the dissolution, insofar as there is an occasion for this and housing matters are part of his area of ​​responsibility. If the supervisor moves to another accommodation, the right to determine the place of residence must also have been transferred to him. Household transactions, such as the sale of individual items or the need to purchase new items, require responsibility for "property matters".

Real assets can be sold. If available, household items can also be disposed of up to a certain amount free of charge (depending on the municipality) by the bulky waste collection . In the case of real estate, the condominium or the house itself in which the household to be liquidated was located also counts for recovery.

In the case of a rented apartment, the tenancy must finally be terminated. The supervisor requires the approval of the supervisory court ( § 1907 I BGB). The apartment must be vacated and returned to the landlord. If necessary, cosmetic repairs are to be carried out at the end of the lease .

The new accommodation must be prepared. For this purpose, a home contract or a new rental contract may have to be concluded. For this, too, the supervisor needs the approval of the supervisory court ( Section 1907 III BGB). If the economic circumstances of the person concerned permit, the purchase of a suitable property can also be considered. The new apartment may have to be furnished according to the needs of the person concerned, for example converted to be barrier-free . If necessary, new furniture and utensils must also be procured.

costs

The household owner has to bear the costs of dissolving the household. In the event of death, these are the heirs. They depend on the one hand on the amount of household items to be disposed of, as well as on the access routes, location of the property (hillside location, floor), and access inside the property. The nature of the household items also has an impact, as the disposal costs can vary with different types of waste. In the case of professional sellers who liquidate apartments, it is customary to include the value of the objects that are still for sale and deduct them from the costs of disposing of those that are no longer usable.

The calculation for the costs of household liquidations is usually based on property inspections by the respective disposal company. In the meantime, internet platforms also offer digital cost calculators for clearing out and liquidating households, which means that a visit is no longer necessary for the calculation.

If the previous owner of the apartment is not in a position to pay for the costs, it depends on the circumstances of the individual case whether these are to be borne by the person liable for maintenance or the basic security provider as necessary moving costs. For this purpose, the necessary applications must first be submitted to the relevant social service provider.

Household dissolution as a service

Household dissolution and clearing out are also the names of the service to carry out the household dissolution. The business model is based on the one hand on a fee for the disposal of the unusable part of the household goods and on the other hand on the sale of usable items. This service is therefore also listed in the European classification of economic sectors under retail trade (with other goods (in sales rooms)), NACE code 477993.

Serious providers of apartment evacuation undertake to hand over any valuables found in the apartment (e.g. jewelry) to the client or to credit their value. Aspects of data protection, for example if personal documents, photos, etc. are still available in an apartment, should be considered.
