Rent in Berlin: Air Call of an 84-year-old tenant

Rent in Berlin: Air Call of an 84-year-old tenant

The case of Manfred Moslehner, also known as a man, moves many people in the district court of Wedding. The 84-year-old man has lived in a house since birth that is now to be modernized and resold by the investor. Despite his age and modest pension, Manne is faced with his long -standing home.

The sale of the settlement on Steinberg in 2010 led to tensions between the tenants and the new investor, which urged the implementation of modernization measures. Many tenants resisted the rising rents and the impending displacement from their traditional apartments. Manne was one of the most stubborn opponents of the modernization plans because he could not afford the higher rental costs.

The judge of the court shows compassion for the situation of tenants and men. She questions whether it is really necessary to make a final judgment or whether there is still a way to find a compromise. The difficult decision about Manne's fate is now in her hands and it has to weigh between different interests.

Despite offers for alternative apartments and legal arguments from the investor, men are not very willing to cooperate. For him, the evacuation of his house means the end and an uncertain future. Hartmut Lenz and other supporters are fighting at his side, while a member of the Bundestag tries to mediate between the parties to find a solution. The decision about Manne’s fate could be made in the next week, and the tension in the courtroom is tangible.
