The Left Party wants to restrict the conversion of rented apartments into owner-occupied apartments and thus further improve tenant protection. The Infrastructure Minister Regina Kraushaar (CDU), who is now responsible for housing, is also protecting owners and letting tenants down, explained Juliane Nagel, member of the state parliament. Saxony's government continues to refuse to make it more difficult to convert rental apartments into condominiums and to enforce longer protection against dismissal for affected rental households.
Nagel referred to the answer to a minor question she submitted to parliament. Kraushaar referred to an earlier response from the fall of 2024, when she had stated that the government was "fundamentally refraining from further intervention". In the answer to the current question, she wrote that an expert opinion was currently being prepared, which would also examine the requirements for measures. The results are expected this summer.
