The rental freeze does not apply for new housing.

(Wohnungsneubau wird vom Gesetz gänzlich ausgenommen.)

This time.

When the next freeze takes place, your residential construction won't be "new" anymore.

Freezes have always been possible. Nationalization below market rates have always been possible. Neither discourages construction. That's just FUD.
