Fight for home: Pensioner Manfred threatens to be evacuated

Manfred Moslehner, also known as a man, an 84-year-old resident of a settlement in Berlin-Reinickendorf, is about to be impossible to evacuate his house in which he has lived since his birth. The investor who acquired the settlement is planning to modernize the houses and the resulting resale. For many years, the tenants, including Manne, have been fighting against the changes and impending displacement from their long -standing residence.

The situation is heading in the courtroom when the judge, whom the tenants have known for years, thinks about a possible judgment. She shows regret and wonders whether there is a possibility of settlement before she has to make a final decision. The lengthy battle of the tenants began in 2010 when the settlement was sold to a real estate developer.

Manne rejected the investor's modernization proposals because he could not afford the associated increase in rent. Despite judicial orders, he refused to do necessary work on the house for fear of losing it. The investor's lawyer described the condition of the house as catastrophic what Manne left in an unworthy living environment.

The negotiation in the courtroom leaves the participants visibly moved. The judge is considering her decision and is planning a preaching date for the judgment. There is still hope for a solution, since a member of the Bundestag, Canan Bayram from the Greens, makes attempts at mediation between the investor and the tenant. The future of men and other tenants in similar situations depends on the decision of the court and the possibility of an out -of -court settlement.
