Control office checks Kremser rental price development: Focus on tenants

The city of Krems is under pressure because of the risen rental prices and operating costs for the tenants of the non-profit Donau-Anstal Settlement Aktiengesellschaft (Gedesag). Mayor Peter Molnar and the 1st mayor Eva Hollerer have already taken steps to clarify the background of these developments. As part of a "rental price summit", Gedesag's board of directors answered the municipal council factions and discussed important aspects of rent development.

The rapidly increasing energy costs and the general increase in living costs represent considerable challenges for the tenants. The city tour emphasized that these precarious economic framework conditions not only influence the Krems rents, but are also a nationwide phenomenon that affects all non -profit residential builders.

increases in rental and operating costs

Mayor Molnar said: "In several consultation hours with affected citizens: Inside and in exchange with the board, many open questions could be answered." It was emphasized that the drastically increased energy costs and a high inflation had a direct impact on rental prices.

The control office should determine whether the adjusted rents meet the legal requirements for non -profit housing associations. This is particularly important because many rental apartments in Krems are affected by the recent increases. The city of Krems manages a total of around 14,000 residential units, of which around 3,600 are in the urban area itself.

Independent exam required

On October 23, Molnar will submit an application to the local council to bring about the decision on the examination by the control office. The aim is to create transparency and education regarding current rental prices and operating costs. In particular, the delays in funding for non -profit housing construction should also be discussed, which further burden the situation of the tenants.

Finance City Councilor Helmut Mayer turned against non -improper allegations of populist groups who tried to politically exploit the situation of Gedesag. He said: "The calculation of rents and operating costs should now be examined in detail by the control office."

The upcoming interest rate reductions of the European Central Bank (ECB) have aroused hope that rents can drop again from January. Mayor Molnar speaks of a positive development that tenants should finally bring in a noticeable relief.
