Vienna threatens to housing: rental prices explode - politicians raise the alarm!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The living situation in Vienna is increasing: according to the Tenant association , among other things, asked whether they want to recognize living as a human right and decouple rents from inflation. While the SPÖ and KPÖ advocate the need for uniform tenancy law and a rental cover, the FPÖ sees the existing regulations sufficient. The Greens call for legal rent and the ban on rental usury, while the topic of short -term rentals is also a discussed point for many of the parties.

An important concern of all answers is to ensure that housing costs do not go beyond a third of the household income, which corresponds to OECD standards. The different approaches of the parties show a shared opinion on residential policy, which underlines both the urgent living space and the challenges due to rising costs. The pressure on the political actors is growing to take effective measures to enable a safe home for all citizens under the current conditions.
