General Discussion / Berlin Kicking-out Landlords!!
« on: September 27, 2021, 10:09:35 am »

Berlin renters have called for a referendum to kick-out the landlords!

The main reason is: "From our perspective, the rent should not go into the dividends for shareholders, but rather into either lower rents, or into the buildings​​​​​​."

And the renters backed the referendum - their motion won!:

How do we do this here??

Rent / Can my Landlord "Fine" Me?
« on: September 14, 2021, 12:30:06 pm »

Hi everyone,

We recently forgot to bring our kids' toybox into our apartment - we left in out in the hallway.

Today we received a notice from our landlord saying that we are being fined $25 for "toybox in hallway", which the notice claims is a fire hazard.

Is this legal?

Note that my question is not about leaving things in the hallway, which wasn't our intention (this was a mistake), and might actually be a fire hazard.  I just want to know whether a landlord unilaterally impose a fine on a tenant like this?

Heat / It's Hot!!!
« on: September 05, 2021, 05:52:28 pm »
Is there anything we can do to keep the landlord from turning the heat on September 15th (it's been a killer summer ofr heat!).  My lanldord says he has to turn it on because of a bylaw or something.
