As I commented further down, that's true. Although category III is about buildings built before 1953/1945. I just didn't want to give people the impression that Vienna has relatively affordable rents because it has a hard cap on all rents. Newer buildings (not as old as 1953 seems to count as new) with index-bound rents have raised rents quite a bit in the past 5 years and have made Altbau very sought-after.
- whilenot-dev 2y agoFair point. It's not only buildings built before 1953/1945 though, social housings (Wohnungen in gefördert errichteten Mietwohnungshäusern mit mehr als 2 Mietgegenständen) are capped as well.
- rettetdemdativ 2y agoThis I didn't know. TIL. Also, thanks for the sources.
