– It is crazy that the law does not allow the rent increase to a reasonable level in an apartment of 149 sqm to 6000 kr per month, because you are on an old lease.

– Great for the tenant, that he can live so cheaply in the middle of the centre.

– But it can definitely be reversed.

How to write Charlotte K in one of the 47 comments that are written on the DR News Facebook-profile for a property in the inner city, where the tenants are paying a very different rent.
A resident who moved into 25 years ago, thus pay 6.000 dkk per month, while the tenant who chooses to move into the apartment on the floor above, as the new owner, a private equity firm, has renovated, must pay more than 24,000 kr per month. And Charlotte is not the only one who chooses to comment on the cheap rent:

– Is completely speechless over that the DR available as an uncritical mouthpiece for single older locals sitting in the large 4 – and 5-room rental apartments in Frederiksberg and in the inner city and complains that a rent which has not been indexed in 20-30 years, now put up, so they really will pay the same as everyone else.

– They should then just have the arms up over the head, over the many thousands of dollars, as they over the years could save by sitting in a unheard of cheap rental property, writes Marie H who has received a like from Jan C:

– Where you have the right.
– I know people who live in the big old apartments of 100-150 m2 to 8,000 kr, both in Copenhagen city and Frederiksberg, writes Jan.

Several other of the DRs Facebook friends undrere that foreign private equity funds as Blackstone, can possibly be allowed to buy properties in Denmark, when at the same time severe constraints on foreigners buying homes, but Lars B makes in his comment the question of whether the market or the politicians should determine housing prices:

– Who should determine the ‘reasonable’ rent? (And) what with the ‘reasonable’ price on the condos?

– Either you have a free market that determines the price – or you are on the road against the policy rates.

– Who pays for that random people can stay Kgs Nytorv for 3500 for 150 sqm?

– It does not just the landlord – if the private property is actually confiscated, but also to all others who might have the benefit of falling prices through increased supply.

– If the foreign funds are not allowed to buy who do so? No? Who should be the owners? No? The state? Why not the residents themselves, writes Lars, but what are you thinking?
