Rent Control
Affordable Housing for everyone.
We advocate for fair rents and affordable housing in our neighborhood.
Step 1: Check the reference rent
The local reference rent is the benchmark for your rent. Use this information:
- • Living space
- • Year of construction
- • Location of the apartment
- • Furnishing / Modernization
Important deadline! Challenge an excessive rent within 30 months of the start of the lease, otherwise the right to reimbursement expires.
