Dispute over smoke detectors: Tenants in Ulm against Vonovia
Vonovia tenants in Ulm-Wiblingen will have to pay a higher basic rent in the future. The reason: The ten-year-old smoke alarm systems were replaced with new, modern ones. Because the housing company declares this to be a technical improvement in security technology, the costs should be passed on to the tenants. Consumer advocates doubt the legal certainty. Many tenants are resisting the planned high-tech smoke detectors – among other things because of the functions that the new devices bring with them.

BW-Minister of Health: hold countries Hospital reform on
The hospital reform passed in the Bundestag does not require approval from the federal states – but in the Bundesrat, the states can send the law to the mediation committee of the Bundesrat and Bundestag with a majority. And that will probably happen – at least that’s what BW Health Minister Manfred Lucha (Greens) announced last night on the SWR program “To the point! Baden-Württemberg”.
A majority of the federal states want to stop the controversial reform for the time being in order to “make it better,” said Lucha. Green-black in BW and Union-led states have long been criticizing the reform with which the federal government wants to reduce the financial pressure on the clinics. The health policy spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group, Florian Wahl, warned in the broadcast that if the mediation committee were called, the law could no longer come into force before the federal election in autumn 2025 – in his view that would be a “catastrophe”.
