Rent an apartment in Munich privately

Find a rental apartment in Munich

The Bavarian capital of Munich is known for its high real estate prices and rents. There is not enough living space, although the city is trying to remedy the situation with various programs. It is therefore not easy to find an affordable apartment to rent in Munich. Nevertheless, there are many offers, but some of them are comparatively expensive.

Attractive: renting apartments privately

Private apartments do not play the main role on the housing market in Munich. However, they often offer a good alternative to other offers. Unlike properties marketed by estate agents, there is no brokerage fee for the landlord, who is therefore more inclined to keep the rent within an acceptable range. Another aspect is that it is often easier to establish good, courteous contact with a private landlord. This "direct line" can quickly lead to solutions in the event of problems.

For tenants, the apartments on offer are commission-free anyway. But renting without an estate agent and from a private landlord can also have the aforementioned advantages in Munich.
