Legal barriers to the energy modernisation of dwellings occupied by low-income tenants and opportunities to overcome these barriers

This book explores the legal barriers to energy modernisation in Germany’s residential building sector, especially when low-income tenants are involved. It also examines potential solutions to the landlord-tenant dilemma and how they may be applied within the German legal framework. Drawing upon extensive research, comparative case studies, and insights from the Swedish experiences, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities surrounding the decarbonization of dwellings occupied by low-income tenants in Germany.
