Abstract
- In Germany the state governments have been afforded the opportunity to define areas with a strained housing market. Tougher rental law regulations apply within these areas (such as the rent brake). Additional areas can be designated, in which municipalities can apply stricter measures from the Federal Building Code to maintain and create more affordable housing. In areas where the instruments are already being used, they effectively counter displacement and are strengthening municipalities in their role as key players in housing provision
