For a lot of people, especially young adults, renting is the only way they’re able to find affordable housing. We can’t all buy a house right after college, and a lot of us don’t evento. Renting allows you the freedom to move whenever you want, and if your apartment comes fully furnished, tenants can save a substantial amount of money by not purchasing essentials.reports that over half the population, 52.4% of people, live in accommodation that they don’t own.
So what makes renting in Germany so special? As the author in this post noted, tenants are provided many protections.needs the property for personal use. But renters must be alerted of their eviction long before they have to move, typically three months or more in advance.Landlords are also not allowed to enter a property that they’ve rented out without informing the tenant ahead of time and receiving permission.
It’s also important to know that the longer a tenant lives in one particular place, the more notice their landlord has to give them before forcing them to move out. For example, if a tenant has lived in one apartment for 5-8 years, they are entitled to a 6-month notice period before they have to move out. And if they’ve lived in the same place for more than 8 years, they must be given 9-months notice.
