Issues such as mildew, noise, or dysfunctional heating systems can severely affect a person’s quality of life while modernisations and rent increases can impose a burden that may be beyond a tenant’s financial abilities. Likewise, contract terminations and the refusal to allow for sublets can impact one’s personal life plan. The preservation of adequate and affordable housing is a relevant topic for most tenants in Berlin. Small and medium-sized businesses are also not immune since the availability and affordability of office spaces has a significant economic impact on their business.
