Hall introduces rent index that will apply at the beginning.

The average rent increased by 2.1 percent in Freiburg and is then 7.29 € per square meter. This is the result of the new rent index, which on 1 Will take effect in January. Provided that the council agrees.
The rent index is not an instrument of housing policy. It reflects the evolution of prices on the open rental market. If it meets scientific standards, it can be used in legal battles to determine the local comparative rent. The rent index, considered since 2008, had triggered fierce criticism.

After two years, he has to be updated - and the political struggles after City Hall gave the top tenant and homeowners associations to even create such a qualified rent index. "They did not want, although we have borne the costs," Mayor Otto financial Neideck said yesterday as he presented the rent index 2011th Instead, a working group was set sat in the five stakeholders of tenants and property owners, chaired by retired judge in Mannheim and rent control expert Hubert Blank. This group should determine within the statutory regulations, the criteria to justify the increases and reductions in rent. After "intensive and controversial discussions," said Blank, most of the criteria had been defined unanimously. The Hamburg Institute
GEWOS then has the data representative of about 2,000 households evaluated. The results are surprising. First, rents are rising "very moderate", as ex-judge says Blank. Secondly, the Vauban district now has moved into the top residential area 2 with Herder and Neuburg (surcharge of 11 percent to the base rent). Residential area 1 is still the old (plus 16 percent). There are discounts for example for Haslach, Kappel and Zähringen (minus 5 percent) or high village Tiengen and wine garden (minus 11 percent). Compared to the current rent levels are higher and the local surcharges surcharges lower. New is the criterion that suffered from ten floors of the base rent concessions should (23 percent).

Many areas have explored the statisticians and in a kind of index transferred from the bath up to the windows. Thus, there exists the most paid for a house in the old town with a roof terrace, underfloor heating and views of historic buildings. Most deductions would have a basement apartment with an outdoor toilet in Brühl, which is located on a thoroughfare. On 30 November the council adopt the new rent index, which was "mostly" recommended by the Working Group Sun Who voted as wanted, financial Mayor Neideck not reveal yesterday.
