The Green Party in Germany is proposing stricter regulations for landlords, criticizing the Federal Ministry of Justice's draft reform of rent control measures as insufficient. Specifically, the Greens advocate for a five-year ban on landlords terminating leases for personal use if the tenant has successfully utilized the rent brake. This proposal aims to alleviate tenant fears of asserting their rights. Additionally, the Greens suggest extending the rent brake nationwide, as it currently only applies to designated areas with tight housing markets. The Federal Ministry of Justice's draft includes provisions for a six-month limit on short-term leases exempt from the rent brake and a 3.5% annual cap on rent increases for index-linked contracts.
