How much it cost 2 room apartment on sharing basis in germany the cheapest one?
- In germany nothing, if you come to Germany, you get free money each day, (around 900 USD) and for this you can get an apartement (mine costs 380 USD + water and radiators). I can not work atm because i am sick. You also get free healthcare (states healthcare). Like if you need new teeth you get it. This all will help you get started, and sadly, i can not work since 5 years, and i just get this money and my Apartment payed + healthcare. A apartement for two person works the same, you both get 460 euros + they pay your apartement if it costs not more than 500 USD. and of course both get heealthcare.
