Berlin – The call for a legal reorganization of the right of first refusal for cities like Berlin, Hamburg and Munich is getting louder. “It is long overdue for the legislature to make the right of first refusal in the building code applicable again,” said the President of the German Tenants’ Association (DMB), Lukas Siebenkotten, on Thursday. The last federal government failed to close existing gaps in the law. It is now the turn of the traffic light coalition to stop the sell-off in German cities and the displacement of tenants “by selling their apartment buildings to purely profit-oriented investors,” said Siebenkotten on the occasion of a draft law introduced by the Left parliamentary group to restore the right of first refusal in milieu protection areas.
