Grunderwerbsteuer is state law — the same apartment costs a different surcharge in Munich and Cologne. The twelve largest first; the rest folds open.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Bestellerprinzip: whoever hires the agent pays. No tenant commission on residential lets.
  • Deposits cap at three months’ cold rent (§551 BGB) and must sit on a separate savings account.
  • Mietpreisbremse caps new leases above local comparative rent in tight areas; Berlin’s Mietspiegel sets the benchmark.
  • Modernization may be passed on at 8% of cost per year (§559 BGB) — check the Anpassung history before you underwrite.

Qualitative anchors only — live numbers come from the official city Mietspiegel, never a hardcoded table.

Profile

Warm rent (Warmmiete) includes heating and building costs; cold rent (Kaltmiete) does not. SCHUFA and proof of income are standard. Unfurnished is the default — “möbliert” is a different, often time-limited product.

Short-lets sit under separate rules. sivrce’s Georgia daily-rent product is not the Berlin model. When rentals go live here they will be long-let first.

FAQ

How much deposit is legal in Berlin?

Usually up to three months’ cold rent, held in a separate deposit account. Charging more is not a “market exception”.

Can I rent without a SCHUFA?

Some landlords accept alternatives (employer letter, higher deposit, blocked account). Many will not. Plan extra time.
