German Rent Control (Mietpreisbremse) extended until 2029

Germany's 'Mietpreisbremse' (rent control) was introduced in 2015 to curb rising rents in tight housing markets. It limits new rents to a maximum of 10% above the local comparative rent. The federal government extended this regulation until December 31, 2029, aiming to ensure affordable housing and protect tenants from excessive rent increases.
