BERLIN taz | It is an exciting event in the escalation of the rent is likely to be political discussion in the city: The owners ' Association Haus & Grund organized for the 9. December a rally against the Rent cap. The internal Mail of the Steglitz district Association by the Tuesday before the taz. The following day, the law should be treated in the first reading in the house of representatives. Probably it occurs from 1. March 2020.

In the Mail does not mean that it is "the government parties to the creation of housing, but the socialization of housing". Argumentative to build a DDR-comparison: "what is the status of associated living space is located, we were able to determine all impressive after the fall of the Berlin wall." Similarly, negative effects were shown by the capping of Rents in West Berlin's old buildings.

Expected to be starting at 10 am, the owners want to demonstrate more accurate information to process and place there are no. Of the house & basic conclusion was going to press, no one.

Katina Schubert, Chairman of the Youwin Berlin Left, had reported in a press meeting in the first of the planned rally, and spoke of "new methods of lobbyists". The severity of the "overheated discussion" the rent cover surprised me. Rouzbeh Taheri of the Initiative "Deutsche Wohnen and co. to expropriate" responded to the request of the taz surprised and amused: "that would do no great Favor," said Taheri to the scheduled Demo.

The support for the landlord is so far manageable. So is called in the Mail to an Online Petition against the rent cover letter. Only 2,500 people out of a target range of 50,000 to have this done in the first two weeks since the publication of the Petition.

On the Website of the owner Association will be receiving visitors for a few days of three animated Reapers with a law book. The legislative initiative of a democratically elected government is vilified as a horror scenario. Even before the first Senate's decision to hire the lid on 18. June had taken care of the house & reason for causing a stir by calling on his members to increase the Rent.
