The dream of any average Russian (Belarusian, Ukrainian) is his own apartment. Living on a rented apartment and paying a lot of money to a “stranger's uncle” is somehow not in our habits. This is not the case in Germany. Renting an apartment and settling there for the rest of your life is considered quite common. Home purchase prices in the country are very high, and Germans are often afraid of "property" loans.
There is one more thing in favor of renting: you buy an apartment, and then suddenly you have to suddenly change your place of work - then get out of nowhere! And so I changed my job - I also changed my apartment. Practical and less troublesome. Moreover, in some sparsely populated villages, selling housing (especially a house) is a dubious pleasure.
Therefore, 57% of Germans live in rented houses and apartments. Moreover, in Germany a tenant is not a powerless person. And the longer he lives in the same apartment, the more difficult it will be to “ask” him from there. And the owner of the apartment has no right at all, when he wants, to declare to “visit” those to whom he rents out housing,
How to rent an apartment in Germany?
The most famous site where Germans look for housing (both for rent and for purchase) is immobilienscout24.de
You can rent a house directly from its owner, or through a broker. In the first case, financially it will look like this: the owner is paid a deposit, the so-called Kaution, and installed rent.
What is a bond? This is the amount of two or three rent, which is deposited in the bank - in a special account. The deposit "works" as a guarantee for the owner of the apartment for possible extreme cases. These include: firstly, the tenant's failure to pay the rent, and secondly, the possibility of breakdowns discovered during his eviction from housing. If nothing of the kind happened and the tenant turned out to be a completely disciplined and responsible citizen, the deposit is returned to him when the lease expires.
Making a lease through a broker will cost a little more: an intermediary fee is added to the costs already mentioned, that is, for the broker's services - he will have to pay approximately two rental amounts (Kaltmiete). Kaltmiete- denotes the so-called "cold rent", i.e. utilities are not taken into account in it, in contrast to Warmmiete- "hotter" fees, with utility bills.
It is interesting that before concluding a deal, a future tenant of an apartment needs to collect a lot of important papers. So, in addition to the application form, you also need certificates confirming the absence of debts, the level of income, for the unemployed - receiving the appropriate allowance. For those looking for an apartment in large cities where to find a decent apartment is a real work (Munich, for example) - it is better to take care of these pieces of paper in advance and be with them on the very first visit to inspect the apartment.
It should be noted that the lease transaction may not take place if the owner of the apartment doubts whether the apartment will be rented for a predetermined significant period. He may also not like it if the family has small children or pets. But usually this is already indicated in the ad.
Apartments in Germany are mostly rented unfurnished. But very often with a kitchen that the former tenant (or the owner himself) may ask to pay for - whether you like it or not.
In some cities, the search for new housing can take several months.
There are also a number of rules: you need to inform about the end of the lease 3 months in advance, and you will have to pay for all these months: it does not matter whether you live in it or not. Well, and the departure of old tenants, too, often have to wait.
Rent an apartment in Germany: prices
Prices for renting apartments and houses in Germany vary from region to region, from city to city.
The most expensive housing in the following German cities: Munich (17.28 euros per sq.m.), Frankfurt (13.58), Stuttgart (13.34), Ingolstadt (11.85), Mayz (11.82). Prices are average, in any of these cities you can find housing and are much more expensive than the indicated figure. Especially in Munich, the above site has three-room apartments with a monthly rent of 3,500 euros (excluding utilities).
As you can see, the most expensive city is not the capital of the country at all. In Berlin, one square meter costs an average of 11, 72 euros.
Most expensive cities designated. But there are also those that are called the cheapest. And this: Chemnitz (5 euros per sq.m.), Bremerhaven (5), Salzgitter (5.10), Hagen (5.20), Gelsenkirchen (5, 22). This list is exactly from major cities, and such in Germany are those with a population of more than 100 thousand people. That is, in many villages and small towns, the rent may be lower (but not a fact!).
Let's say you have found a three-room apartment in Berlin - 75 sq.m. for 800 euros. Plus, you have to pay kaution (and this can be an amount from 800 to 2400 euros). Of course, you can pay for it in installments, but not everyone can always afford it. Therefore, it is also not easy to be a tenant of an apartment without a stable income in Germany.

If you are going to live in Germany for a long enough time and you have the means, then it makes sense to rent an apartment or a room. You can find them by looking at advertisements on the Internet. In universities, you can often see advertisements that a student / student is looking for a companion / companion in order to rent an apartment on shares (each one has a room - it will cost less). Here are the basic vocabulary:
- eine Wohnung mieten - to rent an apartment
- die Einzimmerwohnung - studio apartment
- die Zweizimmerwohnung - two-roomed flat
- die Dreizimmerwohnung - three room flat
- ein Zimmer mie Hen - rent the room
- die Anzeige - announcement
- der Vermieter / die Vermieterin - the one who rents the apartment
- der Wirt / die Wirtin - host / hostess
- der Mietherr - owner (in relation to the tenant)
- der Mieter / die Mieterin - tenant, tenant / lodger, tenant
- die Miete - rent
- hoch - high
- niedrig ["ni: triç] - short
- Wie hoch ist die Miete? - What is the rent / room fee?
- pro Monat - per month
- monatlich - monthly
- für 3 Monate - for three months
- kalt - no heating surcharge
- warm - with a surcharge for heating
- der Nachbar / die Nachbarin - neighbor / neighbor
- laut - noisy
- (zu) laut sein - be (too) noisy
- ruhig - quiet
- nett - nice, nice
Word der Nachbar pronounced with an accent on the first syllable and "inflected in a weak declension (see" Weak declension of nouns ").
When describing an apartment and its location, you may need the following words:
- liegen - settle down
- sich befinden - be
- gemütlich - cosy
- bequem - convenient / convenient
- ruhig - quiet / quiet
- preiswert - at a fair price
In Germany, residents of one house (and not just neighbors in the stairwell) greet each other when they meet at the entrance or on the stairs.
A little about apartment amenities:
- der Strom / die Elektrizität - current / electricity
- der Elektroherd / der Gasherd - electric / gas stove
- kaltes / warmes Wasser - cold / hot water
- die Zentralheizung - central heating
- das Gas - gas
In Germany, as a rule, electric cookers. Electricity is expensive, and everything cooks on the stove rather slowly, and therefore, in order not to turn on the stove every time, many people use electric kettles and egg cookers. Coffee is brewed in a large coffee machine (die Kaffeemaschine).
In some large houses of the GDR-ov construction (for example, in the eastern part of Berlin) there is also a garbage chute - der Müllschlucker (from der Müll - rubbish+ schlucken - to swallow). This is not a miracle for us, but the Germans from West Germany (and indeed from small towns) can say that they have nothing like this. People who live in small houses take garbage from the bucket (der Mülleimer) in bags into street containers or trash cans (der Müllcontainer; plural die Müllcontainer). This simple action is now associated with a special word - "die Mülltrennung", "separation of garbage." That is, food waste is supposed to be thrown into one container, cans - into another, etc. For some, this procedure is extremely pleasing, and some are burdened by it and throw everything together at random. Different parties can form even in the same family - for example, the wife is for "Mülltrennung", but the husband does not care. It even happens the other way around: the husband diligently puts everything in different bags, and the wife strives to throw everything away. Perhaps I would not have touched on the topic of garbage, if not for its popularity in German textbooks for foreigners. Ecology!
Living in a rented apartment for a very long time, which can be more than a dozen years, is a normal option for Germans. Private property is very expensive in price, so thrifty Germans approach buying property on credit rather deliberately. Yes, and besides, in Germany there are always difficulties with work, sometimes when changing jobs you need to move huge distances, so rented housing is more practical than your own and creates less hassle when moving. If you choose between and an apartment, thrifty burghers will give preference to the second option, since the apartment is much cheaper to maintain.
What are the costs when renting a home in Germany:
For example, renting a two-room apartment in Munich per month can cost 500 euros. But one should not be strongly deluded that these are all waste that must be incurred. In addition to the so-called cold cost (die Kaltmiete), you need to pay extra separately for parking, as well as various additional payments, which are from 50 to 250 euros plus: garbage collection, fire insurance, utility bills (heating, water). In German, rent for an apartment / house + utilities is already called die Warmmiete, or literally - hot cost.
And also a mandatory deposit (die Kaution) in the amount of one to two months of rental housing. This deposit will be given to the tenant, if he decides to move out of the apartment without breaking anything or damaging the apartment. But, if something is broken, then this deposit will not be paid to the tenant, or they will be paid, but not in full.
So, the amount in the end will turn out to be just huge. It is worth considering that housing is rented unfurnished, the maximum that can be in an apartment is a simple kitchen. But you will have to pay extra for it too.
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Germany: average cost by land
There are 16 lands in Germany, between which there are differences not only in, but also in the cost of housing in Germany, both rented and in its purchase.
Let's take a look at 2-room apartments with an area of 50-60 square meters. The average price of renting an apartment without utilities by land will be as follows:
- Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Bremen, Hamburg, 350-550 euros
- Berlin 400-600 euros
- Brandenburg, Hessen, Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Thüringen 250-400 euros
- Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saarland, Sachsen 200-350 euros
P.S. if you want, you can find an apartment for 200-300 euros on any land! You can also find an apartment for 1000 euros =)))
Rental rules:
The Germans also have strict rules for renting and leaving housing, without knowing which you can get hold of enough troubles. Therefore, before renting a home, it is important to study all the rules. For example, renting an apartment or a house can only be done under a contract that spells out absolutely everything important points, these are: cost, term, area, number of rooms, number of keys, conditions for cosmetic repairs, if necessary, the entire list of furniture and its condition, whether it is possible to keep animals and many other nuances. The owner of the apartment must be notified about the end of the lease three months in advance, on the first or fifteenth day. Entry is carried out only by the act of transfer of the premises.
What are the most popular apartments for rent in Germany?
Unfortunately, large spacious apartments of 100 square meters are not popular with the German middle class, and the middle class is the majority. Such apartments are expensive, plus utility bills are high. Such apartments are more often bought for themselves and live in them, or better-off people such as doctors, engineers, etc. rent them. Also, among wealthy people, houses are in demand - rent or purchase of houses.
Apartments with an area of no more than 60-70 sq.m. are very popular among the middle class. Such apartments are cheaper to rent and maintain. Students love small apartments of 40 squares, so they sort it out much faster. Also, they like to rent rooms in - this is the most budgetary way. But families of 4-5 people are already choosing apartments of 60-70 square meters with 2-3 rooms.
Renting an apartment in Germany for tourists:
For tourists, of course, renting out housing will be a little more expensive. everyone understands that people want to make money on it, especially in more often they rent out apartments located in resort areas (mountains, sea). But if wants to rent an apartment in Germany in an ordinary city, you will have to carefully look for a tenant who would agree to this. After all, it is more profitable for a tenant to rent an apartment for long term- a year or more. And so, price per night in an apartment will vary from 40 to 100 euros- depending on the apartment and its location. Plus, tenants require a deposit of at least 200 euros (they will be given back to you later).
But there are special hostels for tourists in Germany (Jugendherberge / Hostel), which are not worse and not more expensive, and even cheaper than apartments. Usually the price is between 15 and 30 euros per night.
You can also rent a room in a hotel if the tourist has money - from 50 euros per night average price in Germany.
