Check your contract - Rent control

A special feature in Berlin is the so-called "rent brake". This legal regulation prevents flats from being let at rents far higher than the local comparative rent. 

 

Tenants can subsequently complain about this rent - without the risk of termination. Lessors often try to circumvent the rent freeze and often only respond to lawyers or react as soon as courts are involved.

 

Get a consultation, if you think your rent is too high.
