82 cities, each with its own transfer tax

Grunderwerbsteuer is state law — the same apartment costs a different surcharge in Munich and Cologne. Every city carries buy and rent anchors plus its local rate.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • 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.

Developers

The builders behind the pipeline

Municipal landlords, premium Bauträger and boutique owner-run developers — tracked from Handelsregister to handover.

Rental demand in Munich is exceptionally competitive. Standard application files (Bewerbungsmappe) require SCHUFA credit reports, employment contracts, identity verification, and proof of income.

Contracts distinguish clearly between Nettokaltmiete and Warmmiete. Shared apartments (WGs) and furnished corporate flats exist, but unfurnished open-ended contracts remain the gold standard for long-term residents.

FAQ

What documents are required to rent an apartment in Munich?
Landlords expect a complete application package: photo ID, last 3 salary statements, SCHUFA-Bonitätsauskunft, and a debt-free confirmation from your previous landlord.
How does the Munich rent index work?
The Münchner Mietspiegel sets official reference rents based on location, building age, energy performance, and interior amenities, updated biennially.
