Interviewed by
Alexandra Vettori, Hebertshausen
“Today I sent a letter to my two long-term tenants announcing a rent reduction.” This is how a Facebook post by Richard Reischl (CSU), who is not only the mayor of Hebertshausen, but also the private landlord of two apartments, begins. By the end of the year, he will charge the two families who live there 100 euros less per month. Reischl did not expect the hype that his publicly announced rent reduction triggered, even if he published it consciously, of course.
