“The landlords are the Stupid action!”
food – Eckhard Brock-Hoff (62) is to listen to the anger over the new law, which protects tenants against termination, when in the Corona-crisis, the rent is not paid, significantly.
“Brockhoff & Partner” (23 employees) food is as a commercial broker market leader in the Ruhr area and one of the largest retail brokers in Germany. And the entrepreneur himself is the owner of some real estate in a premium location in Essen-Rüttenscheid.
“The law is supposed to protect the small apartment renter,” says Brockhoff to IMAGE. “Now, however, free riders make use of it, which could well pay. It would have been better, the state would secure the tenants a sort of living money as a grant to the course. So the law is but a political mistake!“
More than 60 per cent of landlords in the German pedestrian zones are private individuals. “Which goes to the existence. Because courts will do still for years to. Especially Small and medium stands will meet the with personal bankruptcies.“
What Brockhoff particularly annoys: “The tenants make the payments for the ancillary costs. You do not take advantage of a grey area in the law to pay.“ The broker has a lack of revenue through the payment settings, etc. of a perfumery chain of textile traders.
Brockhoff expects that the debate in the Post-Corona-time is not shelved. “I’m sure that there are trading strategies, how to get Mietreduzierungen. House owners are drained of blood.“
