Minister Svenja Schulze declared that the "nonsense" was over - Horst Seehofer was also satisfied.
But a climate rule drives homeowners to white heat.
The association called for a union rebellion.
Berlin - The election campaign for the federal election has long been in full swing, there is actually still a demand for resignation from a minister from Chancellor Angela Merkel * (CDU) - from the ranks of the house owners, who actually belong to the traditionally conservative clientele.
The Haus & Grund association wants to see Interior and Construction Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) leave the cabinet.
The background to this is the government's plans for the new climate protection law.
Seehofer's resignation demanded: homeowners angry about climate plans - "worst building minister in the Federal Republic"
In an interview with Bild, association president Kai Warnecke complained that the planned half participation of landlords in the costs of the CO2 price was unacceptable.
Seehofer is "the worst building minister * that the Federal Republic has ever had.
I call on the CSU party chairman Söder to withdraw Minister Seehofer from the cabinet immediately, ”said Warnecke.
Söder had already spoken out in favor of reshuffling the cabinet well over a year ago and recently repeatedly called for fresh faces with a view to the upcoming election.
However, the CSU leader has long since moved away from the plan to replace ministers *.
Söder and Seehofer share an old rivalry.
Climate law: Landlords should no longer be able to pass additional costs on to tenants in full
The federal government responded to the complaint of the Federal Constitutional Court on the climate law with a new draft law. One of the measures announced by Environment Minister Svenja Schulze (SPD): In future, landlords are to assume half of the additional costs that arise in the context of leases due to the CO2 price on oil and gas that has been in effect since January 1st.
The price of currently 25 euros per tonne of CO2 has made refueling and heating in Germany more expensive since then.
For a long time there was disagreement in the grand coalition about how the costs should be divided between landlords and tenants in the future.
According to the previously applicable regulation, landlords can completely pass the costs on to tenants - Schulze described this previously practiced solution as "nonsense".
Seehofer had also called the agreement on the 50/50 solution at the CO2 price a "success".
In order to come into force, however, it still has to be enshrined in law.
"Make Merkel Lame Duck": Climate law angered owners' association - Union rebellion called for
The anger of the homeowners seems to be great. In an interview with
Bild,
the
owners' association Haus & Grund asked
the CDU / CSU parliamentary group to stop the project in the parliamentary process. "Now the parliamentary group has to decide whether it will go under with Merkel and Seehofer - or whether it will resist and make both what they have actually been for a long time: Lame Ducks," explained Warnecke.
The new climate law has been passed by the cabinet, but has yet to pass through parliament. Changes are possible. There is also criticism from other sources: At the weekend Merkel and the Fridays For Future activist Luisa Neubauer had an exchange of blows on the climate law at the Ecumenical Church Congress. (
