Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the demand for affordable housing for the tenants of subsidized rental housing. The focus is the Kotti & Co protest campaign in Berlin Kreuzberg. Since May 2012, Kotti & Co have initiated protests against the threat of residents at Kottbusser Tor being displaced due to drastic rent increases, which will go into effect once a period of capped rents expires.
