Pforzheim Tenants' Association Approves Fee Increase for Long-Standing Members

Pforzheim's tenants' association, the largest in the city with 6,172 members, has approved a moderate membership fee adjustment for long-standing members. The Annual General Meeting passed the proposal by an absolute majority, aiming to support long-term personnel expansion.

The association, where 56% of members have been with the group for eight years or more, last increased fees for long-standing members in 1987. The board proposed raising fees for members from the seventh year from 30 to 42 euros per year. The chairman, whose name was not found in search results, proposed the increase.

Udo Casper, state business manager, highlighted the need for more affordable apartments in metropolitan areas. Hans Röttges, business manager of the tenants' association, noted an increase in unjustified rent increases and pressure on tenants, leading to a rise in advisory needs. The association offers an attractive advisory program, including a tenants' newspaper and member consultation in housing rent matters.
