Growing rents in Bad Nauheim: Mayor rejects rental price brake!

Growing rents in Bad Nauheim: Mayor rejects rental price brake!

Bad Nauheim, Deutschland - in Bad Nauheim, the discussion about the rental price brake ensures lively interest, especially from the request of the SPD parliamentary group in the city parliament. Mayor Klaus Kreß critically commented on a rental price brake and sees the market tension as inadequate in order to justify appropriate measures. According to the city, there are currently ten rental apartments between 50 and 75 square meters, whose cold prices range from 590 to 1100 euros. This indicates increasing rental development in the region that deals with many citizens. Mayor Kreß and his predecessor Armin Häuser (CDU) had repeatedly emphasized that the housing market in Bad Nauheim was not tense enough for the introduction of such regulations that renters would allow a maximum of 10 % above the previous rent.

Kreß fears that an introduction of the rental price brake inhibited investments in housing construction. In the discussion about affordable living space, however, it is important not to lose sight of the needs of the population. There are always reports that employees of the parking clinic have difficulty being able to afford an apartment in Bad Nauheim. The FDP parliamentary group also called on the schedule, which applied for accession to the new company of the Wetteraukreis to create more affordable living space.

nationwide changes in tenancy law

Hessen approved the draft law to extend the rental price brake in the Federal Council until 2029, such as [hessenschau.de] (https://www.hessenschau.de/wirtschaft/laenderinitiative-im-dundesrat-hessen-sval- der-mietpreisbremse-v1-kurz-hessen--Bundra-100.html) reported. This step is justified with the difficult situation on the housing market and rising rents. Minister of Economics Mining Mansori (SPD) emphasizes the need for clear rules in order to act against excessive rents. The current rental price brake expires at the end of 2025 and the state government is planning to adapt the Hessian Tenant Protection Ordinance.

The tenant protection regulation of November 18, 2020 also brings regulations that offer tenants in certain communities. In the case of selling condominiums in particular, different termination blocks apply that aim to protect confidence in the previous legal situation. In Bad Nauheim and other cities, an extended restriction of termination of eight years has only been in force for sales since September 24, 2020, such as wirtschaft.hessen.de explained.

Future of the housing market in Bad Nauheim

Despite the current situation and the living space analyzes sought by the WoHust of the district, critic Markus Theis (FW) remains dissatisfied and describes the approach as a social romance. It demands more living space to meet the needs of the growing population. The application to join the new company of the Wetteraukreis is transferred to the building committee in order to invite the district director Marion Götz to a possible solution.

How the situation will develop remains to be seen. The talks are in progress, and it is to be hoped that solutions will be found promptly that benefit both the tenants and the housing in Bad Nauheim.
