From Thursday, June 4th, 2020, a new brake on rental prices will apply in 89 cities and municipalities in Baden-Württemberg – also in Karlsruhe!
–
The state government had decided last week. The aim is to mitigate the rise in rents, especially in large and university cities and other regions in high demand.
Minister of Economic Affairs Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut (CDU) said on Wednesday: “The rent brake starts where the increase is most serious: with new contract rents.” In the 89 municipalities listed, these may not be more than ten percent above the standard local rent.
The new rent brake includes significantly more cities and towns than the previous regulation, which had been declared ineffective by a court due to a formal error. Of the previous 68 municipalities, 31 will drop out, 52 will be added. In relation to the number of inhabitants, this means that a good third of the people in Baden-Württemberg will live in regions where the rental price brake applies.
