Find Real Estate Agents in Austria
Moving and relocating to Austria as an expat? Start a new adventure in Austria? Accommodation in Austria’s capital city Vienna is expensive, but still quite affordable compared with other popular European capital cities. To find a rental property in Austria, the best options are real estate agents. Rental costs can vary, depending on age and condition of the unit, location, size and fittings. All costs are also exclusive of all utilities like energy and water and internet. There are two types of lease options: 1. a primary lease and 2. a sublet. 1.Primary lease agreements under Austrian tenancy law are for a 3-year duration, so if you are staying for a shorter time in the country, it is better to consider option two, the sublet. However, if you need to cancel a lease, usually three months' notice is required. 2. A sublet is when the leaseholder rents the property to a third party wanting to rent. This is legal in Austria, and a great alternative if you wish to relocate before the duration of your lease has finished. When signing a lease, you will need to provide references, proof of employment and income, history in renting, and a security deposit, which can be up to three months' of rent. Also note, properties are usually rented unfurnished, so you will need to provide your own furniture and appliances. To find accommodation: There are various ways to find accommodation in Austria. Rental agents and real estate agents are the best starting point, either by meeting them in person to discuss your requirements, or browsing their available properties via their websites.
