The judges left no doubt as to the fundamental validity of the law. "This is a good day for many home seekers in our city," said senator Andreas Geisel, feeling confirmed in his social urban development policy. "The misappropriation ban is not to will annoy or harass anyone”, he said. “It has a simple goal:. Helping people who are looking for an apartment and use apartments for what they were built: to live in. “
