The Green Club leader Sigrid Maurer also announced a proposal to include free rents in the planned containment of the increase in rental prices. This area is more difficult than the planned rent cap in the regulated sector, said Maurer in the Ö1 series “Im Journal zu Gast”. But: “There are ways to solve this.” Most recently, ÖVP club boss August Wöginger was also able to imagine inclusion – if this was legally possible.
A draft law currently stipulates that rents may not rise more than five percent per year in the coming years. For benchmark rents for old buildings as well as subsidized rental and cooperative apartments, the inflation adjustment should take place annually from 2025 instead of the previous cumulative valorization every two years. For old building category rents, only one increase per year is permitted. The free, non-price-regulated rental sector is not taken into account.
Maurer did not want to commit to a date when the abolition of official secrecy would come into force. A corresponding draft is to be approved by the Council of Ministers in the fall – but then a two-thirds majority will be needed in parliament.
