Berlin sets a sign against domestic violence: the real estate industry introduces a system to the rental agreement.

Berlin - The number of cases of domestic violence in Berlin rose by 10.4 percent in 2022, with the number of unreported cases even higher. In order to tackle this problem, a Berlin property management is expanding your lease with the topic of "household without domestic violence". Every new tenant should clearly position himself against domestic violence with his signature. The facility also contains the contact details of the social service of Catholic women (SKF Berlin), who offers help victims of domestic violence. In addition, flyers are to be posted in the hallways that contain information about emergency numbers and contacts in the event of domestic violence. The initiative of the property management has already reached 5000 Berliners and hopes that other landlords and housing associations will follow their example. The system for the rental agreement and the flyer can be downloaded from the cooperative's website.
