„...even trying to rent an apartment in Germany...“ While this MAY be true in a lot of cases it certainly is not all the time. From my experience 50/50.

- danielbln 9y agoNot all the time probably, though in my experience, especially if it's not a flat share but a proper apartment, it's definitely closer to 100% (Berlin).
- philfrasty 9y agoI guess the likelihood increases if you go through one of the newer screen-tenants-first-online-platforms or the building has hired a property management company. Going through newspaper-classifieds or owner-let apartments yielded 100% no Schufa for me in Munich + Berlin.
- VonGallifrey 9y agoReally? Schufa was the first thing anyone asks when I was interested in a new apartment. My schufa score is abysmal, but luckily the score is not included in this document, only the negative entries.
- dna_polymerase 9y ago50/50 may hold true if you are renting directly from the owner. If a real estate agent is involved (or something like degewo) it is somewhere around 100% of all cases.
