Munich: Rental activist Tilman Schaich in portrait – Munich

10,000 people took to the streets in Munich in 2018 to protest against rent speculation. Tilman Schaich helped organize the demo. And today: In the city with the highest prices, people can hardly be mobilized. But why?

Man disturbs. He gets in the way when his home has become an asset that investors want to trade in, and when he doesn’t want to leave, man. That, says Tilman Schaich, he learned in recent years when he exchanged ideas with other disruptors. For investors, the best apartment is an empty apartment with no tenants, because that’s how the maximum return can be generated. Because then you can renovate, upgrade and resell without anyone having to be concerned with social considerations. Luxury always works.
