Begrenzt verfügbarer Wohnraum in Städten sowie das Bedürfnis nach flexiblen und kurzfristigen Angeboten haben den Immobilienmarkt innerhalb der letzten Jahre vor neue Herausforderungen gestellt. Dieser hat darauf mit unterschiedlichen Lösungen reagiert. Über die rechtliche Einordnung dieser Lösungen, insbesondere bezüglich der Mietpreisbremse und der Gesetzesinitiative zu möbliertem Wohnraum und Kurzzeitmieten, haben wir bereits einen Überblick gegeben (siehe hierzu unseren Blogbeitrag vom 5. Mai 2023 „Student Housing, Mikro- und Serviced Apartments: Ausnahmen von der Mietpreisbremse?“ und das Update hierzu vom 18. Juli 2023 ). >
As already pointed out in our previous article dated 5 May 2023, the German Civil Code (BGB) recognizes various exceptions to the rent brake (Mietpreisbremse). Furnished apartments, however, are – at least in theory – restricted by the rent brake. Nevertheless, in practice, the rent brake is often circumvented by levying of furnishing surcharges, which are currently not get regulated by law. The Federal Council would like to counter this practice with the draft legislation. >
REIUS. advised HAMBURG TEAM Investment Management on the acquisition of the so-called “Fünfgiebelhaus”, a project development of 125 apartments and commercial space in Kiel, for a Norther German pension fund from the Kiel-based Norddeutsche Grundstücksentwicklungsgesellschaft (NGEG). >
Investor interest in new and old forms of urban living is fundamentally unchanged. However, changed market conditions with increased construction and financing costs and ever stricter climate protection requirements are putting the brakes on investments. The rent brake (Mietpreisbremse) also continues to contribute to the tightness of the German housing market. Investors are therefore on the lookout for urban forms of housing that are not bound by the rent brake. Do student housing, serviced or micro apartments offer a way out here? >

The oil business as we know it has an official expiration date: On 14 February 2023, the European Parliament decided that no new cars and vans with an internal combustion engine may be registered in the EU after 2035. Against this background, the business model of oil companies and petrol station operators will fundamentally change. Today’s petrol stations will hardly continue to exist unchanged in the future – both in terms of their number and their actual use. Aspects of real estate law are also likely to play a significant role in the future (subsequent) use of petrol stations. >
In a press statement issued on 25 January 2023, Federal Minister of Construction Klara Geywitz (Social Democratic Party) presented the German Federal Government’s plans for future subsidies for new constructions.
