Herzlich Willkommen! 🏠

Frankfurt is Germany’s financial capital — and its rental market behaves accordingly. Prices are high, competition is fierce, and landlords can afford to be picky. But it’s not impossible.

💶 What to expect to pay

• Studio (1 Zimmer): €900–1,300/month
• 2-room apartment: €1,200–1,800/month
• 3-room family apartment: €1,600–2,400+/month

Always ask whether a listing is Kaltmiete (cold, without utilities) or Warmmiete (warm, utilities included).

🔍 Where to search

• ImmobilienScout24.de — the biggest platform
• Immowelt.de — good secondary option
• WG-Gesucht.de — for shared apartments
• Facebook groups: "Wohnung Frankfurt"
• Ebay Kleinanzeigen — hidden gems, but watch for scams

📝 What documents you’ll need

Prepare a Bewerbungsmappe (application folder) with:
• Passport/ID copy
• Last 3 months’ payslips
• SCHUFA credit report (free at bonitaets.de)
• Landlord reference from previous home
• Short personal cover letter in German

🚨 Red flags to avoid

• Requests for payment before a viewing
• Listings with no address or blurred photos
• Prices far below market rate (scams!)
• Landlords who never want to meet in person

💡 My #1 tip

Apply within the first hour a listing goes live. Good Frankfurt apartments disappear within 24–48 hours. Set up email alerts on ImmobilienScout24.

Viel Erfolg bei der Wohnungssuche! (Good luck with the apartment search!)
