MYONESTION is an important legal instrument that enables the municipalities to ensure the composition of the population in areas. This happens not only to prevent displacement due to rising rents, but also to maintain the housing stock. In cities such as Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, the application of milieu protection has now been widespread. In order to put an area under milieu protection, a milieu protection regulation must be issued, which imposes specific regulations to the owners. Legal information describes that owners in these areas always need to have approval for construction measures.

The report has confirmed the effectiveness of milieu protection and shows that structural measures in the areas concerned have been severely restricted in recent years. Gothe explained that the goal was to guarantee a socially compatible implementation of construction work. As part of these provisions, owners must make sure that luxury -renovating measures that go beyond the contemporary standard can be rejected. mietrecht.com further explains that even users are not allowed to change their apartments without permits, which underlines the need for early information and advice.
The recommended steps for owners in milieu protection areas include first to inform themselves about the belonging of their object to such an area and then submit all the necessary applications in good time.
