Rent: The Case of a Man from Bolzano raises Concerns \u2013 Real Estate Agent calls for Changes to the Regulations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolzano \u2013 The idea of designating apartments as affordable housing to make living more accessible for locals is a well-intentioned strategy. However, the law has its flaws, as exemplified by the case of a 42-year-old man from Bolzano.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Oberhofer* takes a sip of water. A mix of anger, sadness, and frustration defines his emotional state. But above all, it\u2019s the uncertainty that weighs heaviest. \u201cAt some point, I\u2019ll probably end up on the streets,\u201d he says sarcastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a year ago, Martin and his long-term partner separated. She continues to live with their two young children in the apartment the couple purchased together six years ago. Martin, on the other hand, has found temporary refuge in the guest room of his parents\u2019 house and has been searching ever since for an affordable rental apartment in his hometown. But the prices on the open market are astronomical. \u201cThey\u2019re asking \u20ac1,000 or more for 60 square meters,\u201d Martin explains. \u201cI simply can\u2019t afford that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends advised him to look for a regulated rental apartment, which would cost significantly less at around \u20ac750 per month. But here\u2019s where Martin encounters an insurmountable obstacle. Since he already owns a regulated apartment, the law prohibits him from renting another one. \u201cThat\u2019s completely illogical,\u201d he says, unable to hide his frustration. As a father, not only does he have to pay child support, but the law also denies him access to reasonably priced housing. \u201cSomething is clearly wrong,\u201d Martin insists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andr\u00e9 Benedict Niederkofler is not surprised by Martin\u2019s story. The real estate agent and secretary of the South Tyrolean Real Estate Association is familiar with several similar cases and confirms that housing regulations in South Tyrol often cause problems\u2014particularly when couples separate. \u201cWhat was originally intended to protect locals increasingly turns out to be an obstacle,\u201d Niederkofler says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is hardly surprising, given that three out of ten marriages in South Tyrol currently end in divorce, in addition to around 540 legal separations each year\u2014and those are just the official numbers. Niederkofler is therefore calling for amendments to the relevant provincial law, which also disadvantages couples who want to move in together as owners of regulated apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin, however, cannot wait for the laws to change. His only option is to leave his hometown and look for a place to live far away from his workplace and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
