Social charter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As part of the privatization of public housing stocks, conditions are agreed as social charter or social clauses , which give tenants protection that goes far beyond the statutory provisions. The agreed duration varies and is usually 10 to 15 years. The social charter is binding for every interested party / investor in the field of public housing and is contractually fixed in the event of a sale. These social charter are an expression of the positive intentions of the investors and illustrate the interest in keeping the tenants in the apartments. Only a low vacancy rate secures the rental income required to secure the investment.
