About This Trend

Mietendeckel is a German term that refers to a rent cap, which is a government-imposed limit on the amount by which landlords can increase rents on residential properties.

The Mietendeckel is currently trending due to recent developments and discussions in Germany, where various initiatives and politicians, such as SPD-Chef Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel, are advocating for a bundesweiten Mietendeckel (nationwide rent cap) to address the issue of rising housing costs and ensure bezahlbare Wohnungen (affordable housing) for all. .
