How easy is it to find tenants in Germany?
As in the UK and other western European countries, properties are usually adver tised via the internet. There are numerous dedicated websites for advertising your property. A good property at the right price can attract tenants within 6 – 10 weeks, bearing in mind that in Germany tenants have to give 3 months’ notice before vacating a property. The vast majority of Germans rent their homes (70%+). Many people live in the same property long-term (the average tenancy period exceeds 8 years). An advantage of the longevity of tenancies is that people tend to take good care of the property because they see it as their home.
