During the debate ahead of the vote, CDU faction leader Burkard Dregger had said he expects the cap to fail when challenged in the Constitutional Court.“Their so-called rent cap law will not stand up to scrutiny by the Constitutional Court,” Dregger said. “How bitter this will be for the tenants, in the end the tenants will be exposed to rent demands, because the rent cap law is already unconstitutional due to the lack of legislative competence of the state.” (Source KCRW)
