Housing Stock

Ban on misuse / Misappropriation Act

In 2014 the Senate took action with the Misappropriation Act to ensure that the housing stock in Berlin is used for permanent living only. The law was sharpened in 2018. Vacancies (longer than three months), demolition, conversion and short-term use are prohibited. If any other use than housing is demanded by owners, they can file an application with the responsible borough.
The Senate has also launched an internet site, on which people can report violations against this law.
