    Love your apartment! I found your videos quite recently and they have been super helpful since I'm planning on moving to Berlin soon too! This might be a too personal question so please don't feel forced to answer it, but I was just wondering because I read everywhere that landlords in Germany typically ask for your income to be 3x higher than monthly rent if that was the case with you as well? In other words, did you find landlords required you to have a 3x higher income or did they not care as long as you can pay your monthly rent? I ask because I feel like with my relatively frugal way of life I could manage with giving out 50% of my income for rent for a nicer apartment but I don't know if that would be OK for landlords or if I would simply get overlooked and should stick to the 30% "rule"?

      Hey girl! Im actually the same. I prefer to have a nice place to live in even if that means cutting back on some fun things. I don’t meet the 30% rule and although I did hear about the rule in general (not in Germany but just life advise wise), nobody asked me that in Germany yet. What is REALLY important is that you have a stable/permanent job. They will almost always ask for a permanent job contract or a letter from your employer and sometimes even questions around my job why Im working there, why I’m moving to Berlin for that job, etc. I think the landlords wanna make sure you won’t like quit your job or something and not have money to pay for rent 😅 I heard kicking people out of apartment in Germany is very hard so maybe that’s why.

    I wonder what drives up the price so high, with this rent you could get so much more in Berlin.

      I think it’s because more people are moving to Berlin compared to the vacant apartments available. 😔 I had to line up with 30 other people at one of the viewings so I feel like there are just sooo many people moving here.

      The price feels like a total rip-off, as nice as the apartment might be.

      @@maria_winter I have to agree this is pretty expensive for Berlin. It's mostly because of the modern building, many amenities that come with it and the neighbourhood. I'm new to the city and my priority was to feel safe and home here more than anything so I chose something really conservative. It is possible to find something nice for less. Hope this adds some context to the price!

      Actually that is a pretty good price for the quality of the apartment and location. And for a new rental. I’ve heard of people paying 1500€ for 30 sqm, one room, fully furnished and not even in Mitte.

      I think she said that the apartment is fully furnished and the furniture do look pretty expensive. Additionally, I think this area is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in Berlin.

      @@Yangtsu_09 Furnished apartments in Germany are a loophole for landlords to charge rent above the legal rent limit.
      So you should not rent furnished apartments if you don’t want to overpay.
