Something else to factor is that Germany probably has much stronger rental protections than many US states. Renter-landlord rights are fundamentally at tension so jurisdictions have to choose where that balance lies. If rights are lopsided towards the landlord it becomes much less desirable to rent because you have little control over your living situation.
- anyfoo 5y agoAlmost certainly, yeah. I try to counteract this by choosing "good landlords" (a lesson I learned after my first apartment here, which was owned by a corporation that was terrible to deal with), but there's only so much you can do of course. Right now we lucked out, and it feels mutually beneficial.
