„Let’s Talk About Law“ – The interactive discussion series: „Conflict Zone: Tenancy Law—Housing, Rent, Disputes“
In an increasingly tense Housing Market The fear of eviction or rising costs leads many tenants to avoid conflict. Instead, they put up with problematic lease terms because they see themselves as being in a weaker position. At the same time, landlords criticize the fact that the Tenant Protection is constantly expanding, causing them to lose flexibility. Tenant protection laws are meant to mediate between the two sides—but do they really succeed? Who is responsible for ensuring a fair housing market? And how can the interests of tenants and landlords be better reconciled?
In the debate, the following speakers will discuss the tenants' perspective: a lawyer Ruth Zöller, Executive Director of the Karlsruhe Tenants' Association (Mieterverein Karlsruhe e.V.), and, representing the landlords' perspective, an attorney Götz Pasker, President of the Karlsruhe Bar Association e.V.
In conversation with Marie-Elisabeth Miersch In collaboration with the Forum Recht Foundation, they examine legal issues surrounding the growing housing shortage, as well as the rights and obligations of both parties. Join the discussion and share your thoughts!
