Effects of Rent Liberalization on Poverty in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Rent control has a long tradition in the Czech Republic (more than ninety years). This kind of protection of tenants from extreme increases of rents is valid for most of tenant dwellings in the Czech Republic. Rent control used to be well founded duringthe transformation period in the early 90's, but it has grown into one of the most rigid measures of the Czech housing policy. Only 20 % of tenants have to pay "market" price in the Czech Republic, the rest (80 %) could be considered as "protected tenants" according to EU-SILC data. It is highly possible that the latter group comprises not only of persons in need, but also rather the middle class people. All attempts to abolish the rent control were unsuccessful until 2007 when a special act on rent control liberalization came into existence. It presumes that the process of deregulation should be finished until 2012. As a result, mainly in the bigger cities we can expect large increase of the former regulated rents.
