Guess we are in a slightly better position in #Germany.

#RentControl & #RenterProtection used to be quite good here and has only gradually been reduced since the 1970s.

Problem today is, that almost all political parties here are now engaged in a full scale war against renters, exept one maby. And that one is unfortunately not very popular.

I'm very worried about the future course here. Situation today is already very bad. But still better than elsewhere.

National Rent Control? It’s Closer Than You Think.

A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments. But Greystar, Blackstone, and AvalonBay are spending millions to block it.
They're a part of a coalition of massive landlords, baks, and investors who are pooling resources to block rent control and renter protection policies.
One of the biggest landlord industry lobbying groups is called the National Multifamily Housing Council. That group has spent almost $10 million lobbying against rent control.
Despite this opposition, we're seeing one of the largest upticks in tenant organizing since the 1970s, as renters across the country face worsening housing crisis. Groups like KC Tenants are at the forefront of this movement, fighting to stop unfair rent hikes and corporate slumlords..
