Be ready for group flat visits. If like the flat, approach the landlord and show your high motivation. Use more than one real estate agent / supplier to have a better choice. Be proactive in your communication with real estate agents. Please kindly double check your job offer concerning the real estate agent’s fee before starting your collaboration with one of our external suppliers. If there is no commission included in the offer, you have to pay the commission yourself. (Please note that, as per the law real estate agents cannot charge you more than two-month cold rent (rent without the utility costs) plus VAT. Depending on the district, rental prices may differ to a greater or lesser extent from the average.

Try to make an excellent impression on the Landlord. Be on time or even a little bit earlier (5 minutes before the appointment), but not too early! Landlords might interpret it that you will pay on time. Make sure to look accurate. Landlords might think that you will keep the apartment tidy. Try to build a good relationship with the Landlord. Be friendly! It will always help.
