Berlin tenants are proposing their own socialization law which would force the government to act.
Socialization would transfer 220,000 apartments from the city's largest landlords to the collective control of the people who live in them!

remember how Berlin citizens voted to take back the city from corporate landlords in 2021? it was an emancipatory promise many applauded.
since then, corporate landlords increased their stronghold on the city to 25% of housing stok, and w it, rents went up by 9% annually.

Good article about one of the ways landlords seek to avoid rent control.
I think it can be thought of in the same light as 'Eigenbedarf' (own-use) evictions or landlords forcing tenants to sign a second contract to rent a kellar space.
