The tenant should not bear the entire cost, according to the opposition, who agree in this case. If it should go to the Greens, would then complete the broker’s commission shall be borne by the landlord and should thus also be changed in the housing agency law. It looks like everything will stay the same, so that there will be no changes. The claims of the opposition were rejected. Accordingly, the recommendation to the Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs will be valid, where the coalition of CDU and FDP with your majority to reject the amendment. This legislative change has also supported the German Tenants’ Association, in your opinion is also the one paying the bill, which you have ordered. The amendment would not necessarily an advantage for the tenants, because it also in many cases, the lessor can these costs.
