Would your landlord pay you for the improvements you make? Is seems a full interior build out could cost tens of thousands of euros. Why not just buy if you have that much free cash sitting around for a down payment? And what happens if your landlord tries to push you out?
- hatchnyc 5y agoI think this is not going to make sense if your only point of reference is residential rentals in a typical American city, but this is how it is done in at least some places in Europe. People tend to stay in one place for much longer than Americans. If you're on a budget you can go to Ikea and buy a kitchen...based on my friends' places I'd say that's the norm.
- mapmap 5y agoDo you take the kitchen with you when you leave or does the landlord tear it down?
- mateo411 5y agoYou can only move IKEA furniture once. If you move it twice it will fall apart.
- jamil7 5y agoSome people do yes, I’ve heard a few people dismantle and take it with them, more common is that you offer the next tenants to pay for the kitchen at a reduced rate. Keep in mind it’s very difficult to kick a tenant out of a rental here and you can often keep a flat for as long as you want so doing large renovations to a rented flat isn’t uncommon.
- Spooky23 5y agoLonger leases are the norm. You’re not stuck in annual lease hell when the market is hot.
- User23 5y agoGermany has national rent control[1][2] and leases are heritable. Leasing in Germany is much more like owning than it is in the USA.
