The core issue with this is that I don’t think people have free market choice of rental accommodation? That’s the entire reason for stratospheric rent increases: property is increasingly mass owned by corporations, that collude on pricing. As a result fewer people can buy homes, and ever more end up being owned by rental corporations.
At no point does “what is management like?” come into the equation.

I've rented in Zurich and am looking for somewhere in Munich - unless your budget is particularly high, it's very much a matter of just taking whatever you can get. From what I've heard, this is the case in many/most large American cities too.
