Due to the housing shortage in the new federal states, many families are happy to have a roof over their heads. The family of five of Anna Goede (in the picture) has to live in a run-down building of the former trade organisation (HO) for rent. Their own house had been demolished a year earlier due to dilapidation. Kaufpunkt GmbH, the current owner of the rental property, does not want to make any more investments despite the dilapidation. The city can only begin with the restoration once the takeover contract has been approved by the Treuhand. [automated translation]
