einzugsfähige

The German word "einzugsfähig" is an adjective that translates to "habitable," "livable," or "ready for occupancy." It is primarily used in the context of real estate and refers to a property, typically a house or apartment, that meets all the necessary legal and technical requirements to be moved into. This means that the building is structurally sound, safe, and functional, with essential services like electricity, water, and heating in proper working order.

In a rental or sales agreement, a property being "einzugsfähig" implies that the tenant or buyer can legally and practically begin living in it without requiring further significant renovations or repairs. It signifies that the property has passed all necessary inspections and complies with building codes and regulations. This term is crucial for defining the state of a property at the point of handover, ensuring clarity for all parties involved in a real estate transaction. It contrasts with properties that are sold "as-is" or require substantial work before they can be inhabited. The concept of "einzugsfähig" assures a certain standard of readiness and safety for a new resident.
