> still gets rejected either for her financial situation or because the rental contract is already set to increase 8% each year - which we simply cannot afford. And it's not just Munich. Every city in Germany has this problem.
The logical step, when individuals cannot afford their own rent, companies that need workers will be providing housing to their workers. And they will be able to evict them whenever they feel like it.
Then we will finally return to feudalism in all but name- you will have a lord, live on his land , and he will be able to control your life far beyond what a job normally does.
This case is different though, 75k is a very, very good salary in Germany so if they can't find rent with that then they are looking at the wrong properties. 75k is great but it won't buy luxury penthouses (same as everywhere else in the world.) If OP is telling me they can't find a normal 2 bed apartment in Munich on a 100k (assuming) income something is wrong in their search or their expectations.
Most likely pre tax. In software development range will be probably 70-95k euro, for mid to senior dev in a big city. After all taxes, contributions you are getting around 60% of this.
So mentioned 75k, will be 40k net.

Corporate feudalism was a big theme in cyberpunk literature, and lo...
If you consider that renting is basically "housing as a service", though, you can see where we're all subscribing to it (eh) a little bit more every day.
I would be curious to see what kind of studies in Svalbard have been done on this. Virtually all workers are in company housing. Has it devolved into feudalism in all but name?
