As the capital and cultural city,Berlin is one of the most popular places to live in Germany. No wonder that rents have been rising in recent years and the real estate market seems more lucrative than ever before. Whether and if so when the rent cap will take effect again or landlords can continue to charge their high prices remains to be seen. Here you can find information about the current events around the rent cap in Berlin.

The law concerns a stock of:

340,000 to 512,000 apartments in Berlin

What does the rent cap say?

The rent cap was supposed to make affordable housing in the big city of Berlin possible again. According to estimates, the rents for 340,000 to 512,000 apartments fell, in some cases by several hundred euros. Much to the annoyance of landlords and property owners! Because they finally sued against the law.

After the rent cap in Berlin was ultimately declared unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court, many landlords and owners breathed a sigh of relief. However, the discussion about high rents has not yet come to an end. In addition, rumours are spreading that the real estate giant Vonovia will merge with the real estate group Deutsche-Wohnen, which would result in the largest real estate deal in German history.
