Long term apartment rental in Austria

Searching and renting an apartment

Housing in Austria is rented on the basis of a contract, in accordance with the laws of the country. A number of features follow from this:

  • The rental period is usually 3 years, during which the rent does not change. If the tenant wants to move out earlier, then he must pay a penalty in the amount of the deposit
  • Under the contract, the tenant is protected by law and it is very difficult to evict him from the apartment ahead of time, even if he stops paying rent.
  • Landlords are afraid to contact bad tenants. And if you want to rent an apartment, you will have to prove your solvency and adequacy. Usually there is a competition among those who want to rent an apartment
  • The process usually involves a realtor, you will have to pay him 1-2 monthly rent, as well as a contract fee.
  • If you managed to get a deal, then you will have to pay a deposit, about 3 rent payments per month and 1 month in advance.
