The city is waging a war without thank you to the owners who illegally rented property. In addition to a fine of up to 100,000 euros, it also relies on informers.
Berlin enjoys a certain popularity among tourists worldwide. The alarm is already of a possible housing bubble. Sharp rise in rents, explosion in sales prices … The German city saw a true “housing madness’, with prices that are three times lower than those prevailing on the Paris property market. Even despite the rent regulation mechanism – Mietpreisbremse German – increases in the most desirable areas have achieved 5-7%
So it is no coincidence that Berlin was a great success! on the rental site Airbnb online. This is the third most visited city in Europe after London and Paris …, which is the world capital of Airbnb, with 12.4 million visitors – who stayed 2.4 nights on average – in 2015. like Paris, Berlin town decided to wage a struggle without thank you to the owners who illegally rent their (s) apartment (s) for tourists. Because of this, no less than 12,000 housing units would be blocked, preventing the residents of housing.
To put order in all this, the municipality has decided to require owners wishing to rent their property to make an application … So far, this measure had mixed success, since half of Berlin’s owners retain their old habits. But the city has not said its last word! She now intends to impose a fine of up to 100,000 euros …. A sum corresponding to the price of an apartment of 30 to 40 square meters.
And it’s not over. The town also has the citizenship of its citizens, as solemnly called to denounce their neighbors or acquaintances who upload illegal ads to rent their property! Thanks to a document posted on the web, any citizen can now anonymously alert authorities of a suspicious location. Given the high number of Berliners who complain of seeing rents skyrocket, it is quite possible that this call is a small success …
