District office Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf fails due to the right of first refusal: What does this mean for the tenants concerned?

The district office Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf cannot make any use of its right of first refusal on the property of Mecklenburgische Straße 89/Aachener Straße, despite intensive efforts and an examination in accordance with Section 172 (1) sentence 1 Sentence 1 No. 2 BauGB. The property built on with a house goes into the property of the private buyer.

according to a report by www.berlin.de And cooperatives asked whether they would exercise the right of first refusal to acquire the property. However, both the LWU and the cooperatives rejected the purchase due to the lack of grants on the part of the Senate. The district office was also unable to make an agreement with the private buyer to avert the right of first refusal, which means that the tenants are confronted with the new landlord. Nevertheless, the regulations of the social right of maintenance and the conversion ordinance according to § 250 BauGB remain valid in order to protect tenants from luxury renovations and conversions.

District City Councilor Christoph Brzezinski explains that the district is facing major challenges due to the case law of the Federal Administrative Court and the financial situation of the Berlin State of Berlin. Nevertheless, the district office will continue to check in each individual case whether the right of first refusal is possible.
