Housing Chief Demands Fairer Renovation Costs for Low-Income Tenants
Axel Gedaschko, president of a major housing association, has called for changes to how renovation costs are shared among tenants. He argues that the current rules unfairly burden low-income renters by treating everyone equally, regardless of earnings. Under the existing system, landlords can pass on the full cost of building modernisations to all tenants in equal shares. Gedaschko claims this approach ignores financial differences, forcing those on lower incomes to pay the same as wealthier neighbours.
He has proposed a tiered system instead. Tenants with higher earnings would contribute more towards renovation expenses, easing the load on those with less disposable income. Gedaschko insists income should be a key factor in calculating these costs. The housing association leader is now pushing the governing coalition to act swiftly on the issue. He wants reforms introduced without delay to address what he describes as an unjust financial burden.
If adopted, the new model would shift more of the cost onto higher earners. This would reduce the financial strain on lower-income tenants during building upgrades. The proposal now awaits a response from policymakers in the coalition government.
