Decision of the Federal Constitutional Court on the Berlin rent cap 
"No tenant of Deutsche Wohnen will lose the home as a result of the decision" 
- Quick decision by the court: tenants and landlords now have legal certainty 
- Consensus of BBU members: subsequent claims should be made with the greatest sense of social responsibility 
- Deutsche Wohnen's promise: no tenant of Deutsche Wohnen will lose the home as a result of the decision 
Berlin, 15 April 2021. With the decision of March 25, 2021, published today, the 2nd Senate of Federal Constitutional 
Court has declared the so-called Berlin rent cap (MietenWoG Bln) incompatible with the Basic Law and therefore null and 
void. Deutsche Wohnen SE welcomes the court's swift decision, as it creates the necessary legal certainty for both 
tenants and landlords. 
When implementing the decision, the company's promise applies: "No tenant of Deutsche Wohnen will lose the home as a 
result of this decision; we will proceed with the greatest sense of social responsibility." Deutsche Wohnen offers a 
whole range of options for settling the balance of the rent due: from one-off payments to instalment payments and 
deferments. In cases of social hardship, the company will find individual solutions together with the tenants. 
With this procedure, Deutsche Wohnen is acting in complete alignment with the BBU Verband Berlin-Brandenburgischer 
Wohnungsunternehmen e.V. (Association of Berlin-Brandenburg Housing Companies), which represents more than 729,000 
apartments and thus 44 percent of the stock in Berlin. Deutsche Wohnen is part of the initiative social housing sector 
of the BBU. 
Deutsche Wohnen sees its responsibility to contribute to an easing of the housing markets, especially in metropolitan 
regions and conurbations. To this end, it is important to bring together all actors to develop solutions jointly.
