you are always smarter Afterwards, so it is often called. In the fall of the Berlin this is not true. As you could have already be smart. Of course experts are forecasts not always correct, you can also learn later, the have shown countless crises, from the financial crisis up to Corona. In this case, however, the forecasts of the Economists look pretty reliable.
What would happen if in a boom city like Berlin, the Rents would be capped? The answers were many and varied – but they were always on one thing: For most people, the housing search is more difficult.
There are to rent fewer apartments
Because There are to rent fewer apartments. To rent instead of sell, some owners of their apartments, rather than condominiums. Where it is leased, will be modernized in the apartments of rare – the consequences you can see in the long term. In the short term, replacement demands for kitchens and other furniture and rise time. On the other side of the Run in the city centre is strengthened. Finally, capped Rents to entice more people. In addition, anyone Who has the wherewithal, given the rent cover like to a larger apartment to a smaller square foot price you can afford Yes.
almost exactly a year Ago, the Berlin Senate has decided on the key points for his rent lid, four months ago, he came into force. Now the first results are visible. Clearly visible, you have to say and you look exactly the way it had, the Economists predicted. In Berlin, more and more property to be offered apartments, so it shows an analysis of the real estate portal “Immobilien scout 24”. At the same time, the Trend in the rented housing goes to the bottom. The trend change in the summer of 2019, shortly after the Berlin Senate has agreed to the Rent cap.
rapid downward it goes with the renting of real estates since the end of February – that was three weeks before the Corona-Lockdown, but rather precisely to the introduction of rent cover. In Hamburg, there were three weeks later, a Corona-decline in rents, as it shows an analysis of the real estate experts by Empirica, now it is balanced almost. Not so in Berlin: There is 0% less Mietannoncen.
find An apartment, which is luckily game
The are currently no scientifically irrefutable evidence, but at least very clear signs: The price of cover has cost the Berlin-based tenant selection. That wouldn’t be so bad if the low offer would encounter less of a interest. However, the opposite is the case: While the number of apartments offered, depending on the count has almost halved, the number of inquiries per listing, within the year more than tripled.
to find A place to play is under such circumstances, to happiness. It is a matter of time until it is clear that some landlords are, under such circumstances, even picky: you are looking for financially sound tenants with secure jobs, which might look similar to you, and may not be so much for families with small children, the unrest in the house can bring.
