Tenants and communists tackle the Austrian housing crisis
Against the backdrop of soaring inflation, the Communist Party of Austria has launched a campaign to freeze rents until 2029, reports PEOPLE’S DISPATCH

IN the wake of an unabated housing crisis and soaring rents, working-class sections in Austria have intensified their campaign, demanding a long-term rent freeze and reforms in the country’s rental laws.
In its petition, the Communist Party of Austria (KPO) demanded the federal government, led by the Austrian People’s Party and the Greens, freeze rents at the current levels until 2029.
The Communist Youth of Austria endorsed the demand, and groups including the Austrian Tenants Association and the Austrian Trade Union Confederation also called for a freeze on rents.
