Rental price dilemma with astronomically expensive Berlin apartment clearly
The rental prices in Munich are extremely high. In Berlin, too, landlords are apparently asking for unbelievable sums. An ad is now causing a stir.
Berlin – Those who go looking for an apartment today can experience their blue miracle in the large German cities. Whether inside HamburgCologne, Munich or Berlin – the range of free apartments is manageable, but the rental prices are often almost limitless. Living in the big cities is getting more and more expensive.
Munich is currently the leader in Germany when it comes to rental prices. However, an advertisement for a one-room rental apartment in Berlin now caused a shake of the head. On the Instagram page of “Notes of Berlin” a screenshot of the insert, which is on the homepage Immobilienscout24.de was published, posted.
Rent dilemma: Astronomically expensive Berlin apartment – “To what extent can that be legal?”
The person who created the ad is offering a 42-square-meter apartment – for a rent of 1,750 euros (including additional costs) including ancillary costs as much as 2,010 euros. “Game over,” writes the author of the Instagram post appropriately to his post. And receives support from numerous users for his assessment of rent extortion in Berlin.
“To what extent can this be legal?” asks a user. “If you provide furniture, this is furnished living and unfortunately allowed,” commented an Instagram user. “If the apartment is rented out furnished, almost everything is open at the top,” added another.
Rental prices across Germany reach unimagined heights faster – calls for expropriations are getting louder
“If it weren’t so sad, you could laugh,” escaped another in gallows humor. “Where should we non-rich people go then? In the tent? Road? Or are we not human? Something like that should be punished really hard (!) “demanded an angry Instagram user. Others saw expropriations as a possible way to solve the problem. “Expropriation does not create a single new apartment,” contradicted one user: “It would be better to build new apartments with the money that you have to spend on compensating the expropriated.”
Apparently there are still fair tenancies in Berlin with clearly affordable prices. “I’ll pay 550 warm for 40 square meters in a good location,” said one user. And added, looking at the post: “I can NEVER move again in Berlin.”
Meanwhile, a curious case recently occurred in the Bavarian state capital. there a landlord was fined by the city of Munich – for rents that were too cheap. (kh)
