Well before – well the landlords’ adventure with rent cuts is over, a new blow is coming, the unreasonable increase in zone prices in many urban areas of the country, at rates of even 100%. A surcharge against which the citizens have practically no defense measure, no way to protect themselves from the overtaxation created especially by the so-called “supplementary tax” of the ENFIA, but also a web of 10 or so more taxes and fees, except to run through in the second half of 2021 at the notary offices, to “discharge” some assets to their family members.

Right after the start of the armed struggle for the liberation of Greece from the Turkish yoke, along with the declaration of its independence, the constitutional texts of the time began to record the theoretical references to what the Constitutional Charter of the new state would include . Among the rights that belong to the fiercely protected core of the rights of the Greek citizens of the new State, was the right to the protection of their individual property, as an equal value to the freedom, equality, life, honor and security of the citizens, for this and today’s anniversary it deserves a brief mention.

In the initial phase of the recognition of compensatory compensation due to rent reduction, the legislator did not explicitly consider tenants/sublessees as beneficiaries of rent reduction, so that in turn their landlords not be beneficiaries of this compensation. This was retroactively changed with the provisions that we mention below, and today it is applied according to the detailed examples that we cite, from which it is clear who are beneficiaries or not, of the relevant reductions and compensations.

The most serious problem that continues to hinder the completion of the process of declaration and collection of the compensations of a large number of real estate landlords from the ongoing rent reduction, is that related to the impossibility of depositing the compensation amounts into their bank accounts. A significant part of the non-completion of the compensation process is due not so much to the non-existence of a declared bank account of the beneficiaries in TAXISNET, but mainly to the non-observance of the rules governing the type and status of these accounts, so that the automatic transfer and deposit of the amounts of their compensations from the AADE payment mechanism.

An announcement was issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after reports according to which property owners who either with the previous or with the current procedure lose the right to appeal against the new posting of forest maps posting, they did not express an interest in objecting or applying for reformation, for which areas the current status of partial sanction of their character is maintained. The Ministry is in a hurry to complete the process of final approval of the forest maps in order to end the whole pending situation, for many reasons, among which is the pending application to the Council of Ministers to cancel the ministerial decision Hatzidakis on the new posting, in favor of which he has intervened the POMIDA.    

The state now also takes over the rents, for the months of January and February, of all businesses that are closed at Christmas by state order. However, it almost completely guarantees (by at least 92%) the fixed income of the lessors, in fact at a time when the market has literally died and the payment of rents seems as precarious and uncertain as all the other fixed obligations that “run” or have temporarily suspended.

With article 5 par. 6 of s.n. of the Ministry of the Interior for the integration of the EU Directive 2018/2002 on the Energy Performance of Buildings, which has been posted for consultation on the website of the Ministry of the Interior until tomorrow, from 1.1.2021, the State will not only be unable to find buildings to rent to house its services, but will be forced to gradually abandon the already rented ones, according the end of their leases! This is what POMIDA points out in today’s urgent letter to the political leadership of the Ministries of Energy and Finance.

POMIDA issued an informative circular to its members with detailed instructions on how to draw up and declare the agreements for optional reductions of professional rents by at least 30% in the TAXISNET application of AADE, according to the law 4722/2020 and the decisions A.1213/2020 and A. 1230/2020 of the Ministry of Finance, which implemented POMIDA’s proposal for tax-subsidized optional rent reductions, which is the only way to put a definitive end to forced reductions.
