Hi, my partner needs to move out of her flat in Germany, and her landlord told her she has to vacate the property several days before her contract ends. It's also what this clause in her contract says. We're both not German, so we were wondering whether this is legal. All the information I found online said that a tenant is entitled to use their property until the last day of their contract but I couldn't find anyone facing a similar issue.

Well, that’s a new one, and I’ve seen quite a lot of bullshit “contracts” posted here.
You get what you pay for. That means you can stay until the last day. You are *not* required to pay for a flat that you cannot use, and preparing it for the next tenant is the *landlord’s* problem, not the tenant’s.
I suppose that if she’s able to, she could offer to move out earlier *if they return the rent for that time period*, but she does not have to do that.
The best option would probably be to go to the Mieterbund and ask them to help her write something.
