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

Plagwitz and Connewitz absorbed the creative wave; the centre and Schleußig price higher. Renovation of Altbau is the typical product, not a new glass tower.

Saxony transfer tax. sivrce lists Leipzig because the in-migration story is real, not because a template needed another URL.

FAQ

Is Leipzig still cheap vs Berlin?

Entry prices remain lower. The gap has narrowed in the popular Gründerzeit belts.

Altbau risks?

Check heating, windows and WEG minutes. Cheap purchase prices can hide a five-year capex plan.
