New Service in Gießen: 'Rental Conflict Help' Offers Support to Tenants
In the city of Gießen, a new service called 'Rental Conflict Help' is now available to all citizens. This low-threshold, free service aims to support people who are experiencing difficulties in their rental relationships, particularly those affected by social burdens or language barriers.
The 'Rental Conflict Help' team provides a neutral platform for mediation between tenants and landlords, with the goal of resolving conflicts early to improve the living situation of those affected. The team consists of volunteers and a full-time coordination team, and they offer twice-weekly consultation hours at Walltorstraße 3.
Monthly team meetings are held with both full-time and volunteer team members, as well as network partners. These meetings provide an opportunity for the team to discuss strategies for conflict resolution and problem-solving, and to exchange ideas with other counseling offers, municipal institutions, social carriers, and specialist institutions.
The 'Rental Conflict Help' team does not offer legal advice but acts as a neutral intermediary for conflict resolution and problem-solving. They provide independent, confidential counseling and aim to listen, mediate, and find solutions together before conflicts escalate.
Referral counseling for specific problem areas is available through the 'Rental Conflict Help' team. For example, if a tenant is struggling with rent payments or has concerns about their living conditions, the team can provide guidance and refer them to other specialist institutions when necessary.

The team provides a valuable service for tenants in difficult rental relationships, and it is not an advertisement but a project launched to support those in need.
If you are interested in volunteering for the 'Rental Conflict Help' project, the full-time coordination team will provide comprehensive introduction and professional guidance. The project is open to engaged individuals who are interested in listening, mediating, and supporting those seeking advice.
