I'm in SWEDEN right now. YES, SWEDEN. It's morning, cool morning air, window fully open. 30 degrees. Hits 35 peak, usually. Absolutely insane.

Enviable.
Also Germany: MORE COAL!
AND DATA CENTERS
Germany has laws about requiring a certain heating level in the winter for safety and comfort reasons. I hope we can vote the CDU out next opportunity and talk about requiring a certain cooling level in the summer because it's dangerously hot in most apartments these days.
I won't rant about landlords here but like, if there isn't a law this change won't happen and people will die because of it. I can't imagine living in a Dachgeschoss right now. My last one got ~5-10 degrees hotter than outside.
There are legal limits above which you are allowed to withhold rent. I do not know them by heart since I live in a sunny but colder region of Germany.
So at some point the owner has to take measures to lower the temperature. Be it by installing better insulation or by installing AC. Also: you only have to prove it's too warm, the owner would need to prove you yourself are causing the heat, if they want to curb paying.
There is no general legal framework for this. There have been decisions in court to allow the withholding of rent due to heat, or to force the landlord to improve the building. However, there have also been cases where the court ruled that the heat is part of "general risk of living". It all depends on the exact situation and the decision of a judge, because most landlords will probably tell you to kick rocks when you contact them about this.
After consulting the Grüneberg, you seem to be right. That is probably just a matter of time though. The Germam High court is notorously pro renter and climate change will also make these matters only worse.
More insulation doesn't work. At some point it actively becomes more of a problem than a solution.
You HAVE to remove the heat inside some how or you just create an oven.
Insulation also prevents heat from entering
For a certain time, once it’s consistently hot for a few days that won’t help
i get to say this every year
but it's the coolest summer of the rest of our lives
This is El Nino, so ut might be less hot next year.
Locally, not necessarily true. Globally, almost definitely.
Seems like every day we're getting coolest day of the month

How much longer till we all die anyways
Random afd fanboy: "that's just summer"
The neat thing is: It's a record high. It was literally never this hot before.
Not that these discussions are about facts at all, but now you have one to confront them with.
It may have been this hot when that asteroid hit, so I'm calling BS
Hang in there our German brothers and sisters, the heat finally broke in NL last night.
Of course, it's still 26C and 80% humidity, so YMMV.
