[Die Neue Zeit]

Die Linke and the rest of the German left need to fight for expanding resident association guarantees beyond the privilege of homeowners and towards the formation of separate tenant associations. They need to fight for limiting all residential writs of possession and eviction for the benefit of private parties to cases of tenant neglect. They need to fight for establishing comprehensive tax and other financial preferences for renting over home ownership.
