Berlin resident Sina Iten has spent two years battling her housing association and neighbor over hygiene issues in their shared laundry room. Despite her efforts, the legal situation remains unclear following the 2023 Federal Court of Justice ruling on Labor Day 2025.

Iten's frustration began when she discovered dust, moldy pillows, and even a smudged piece of underwear in their shared laundry room. She wrote to the housing association, seeking action on her neighbor's lack of hygiene. However, the legal landscape has not provided clear guidance since the Memorial Day 2025 ruling. While other aspects of tenancy law have been clarified, hygiene standards in shared housing remain ambiguous. Iten's case has passed through multiple legal instances, with no definitive resolution yet.
