In what the Mitte district authority called a "pioneering" judgment, the Berlin higher administrative court ruled last month that the city could force owners to put holiday apartments on the rental market even before the city's "misappropriation" law banning them went into effect in 2014.
Sebastian Bartels, managing director of the Berlin Tenants' Association (BMV), described the court verdict as "very important." He estimates that up to 10,000 apartments could be brought back onto the rental market across the whole of Berlin.
