In zahlreichen Städten Deutschlands mit Zuzug und besonders in Berlin hat sich der Kampf um die Wohnungspolitik in den letzten Monaten zugespitzt. Dabei sind die denkbaren Handlungsinstrumente vielschichtig – vom jüngst in Berlin eingeführten sogenannten „Mietendeckel" bis hin zu den ebenfalls in Berlin durch ein entsprechendes Volksbegehren geprüften Enteignungen privater Wohnungsbaugesellschaften. Mit diesen beiden Vorschlägen ist eine Verschärfung der politischen Diskussion zu beobachten, die in ihrer Radikalität die Frage aufwirft, ob hier die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen nicht nur ohne ökonomischen Sachverstand, sondern auch ohne Beachtung der rechtsstaatlichen Leitplanken modifiziert werden sollen. Ausgehend von einer knappen Skizze der ökonomischen Charakteristika von Wohnungsmärkten, klassifiziert dieser Beitrag die bereits vorhandenen und diskutierten Maßnahmen, um sodann deren verfassungsrechtliche Grenzen aufzuzeigen.

"Evictions in the UK examines the relationships between tenants, landlords, housing providers and government agencies and the tensions and conflicts that characterise these relations. The book shows how power dynamics are being reconfigured in the post-welfare context of the first quarter of the 21st Century, as evictions for rent arrears are becoming one of the most significant threats to both the wellbeing of the social housing sector and the welfare of its tenants. Embracing both practical and critical approaches, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the contradictory and thus controversial issue of evictions. It explores the range of perspectives involved in the practice-landlords carrying out evictions, those agencies providing legal assistance to evictees, as well as academics and institutions charged with researching and regulating the process. Drawing on three case studies relating to evictions across Scotland and England, this book provides a comprehensive look at the punitive consequences of poverty (evictions for rent arrears) and status (evictions under immigration law) that are applicable to social housing systems worldwide. Based on original, primary-source data, this book will be a key resource for academics and students as well as policy makers and practitioners in the fields of housing studies, planning, social welfare, and political sociology"--

In Search of Home explores a new yet less explored space of urban poverty - rehabilitation housing for the displaced poor, which increasingly dots the peripheries of Indian cities. This longitudinal ethnography examines these new liminal zones suspended between a slum and the legal city, producing 'citizenship in-limbo' and relegating the poor to perpetual dependence on the state albeit legal residence. It examines how the flexible governance of such housing produces illegalities, and how state institutions and actors stand to gain through systemic corruption that co-opts urban poor groups, pre-empting radical resistance. This book makes central the gendered nature of such politics, detailing the everyday political work of women, vital to the development of poor neighbourhoods and political struggles for housing. This analysis of rehabilitation housing policies and their implementation, chronicles the myriad strategies employed by the urban poor, from documenting to political performances, in their struggles for a home.
