    Isn’t this the same?

    If 6 out of 10 households own and actually live in their owned property, than 60% own and 40% rent.

      I think regarding the numbers in this statistic you are right. But there are people who don’t have their own property, but also don’t rent, for example homeless people or if you let your family live on your property without taking rent of them.

        Homeless account for 0.3% of population in Germany, that is negligible.

        And you are not allowed to let your family live on your property without taking rent of them. Search for it if you don’t believe it.

          I looked it up and you can let your family live on your property for free through a borrow agreement corresponding to §598 BGB. It just can’t be taken into account for the tax return.

            Erlaubt ist es, aber:

            • der Mieter muss dann Schenkungssteuer zahlen, und
            • der Vermieter muss evtl. Zweitwohnsteuer zahlen, und
            • der Vermieter kann natürlich keine Ausgaben (Renovierung etc.) bei der Einkommenssteuer ansetzen.
