Renting an apartment

Please be aware that not many apartments are rented directly by the owner, which means that you should expect to pay a real estate agent's fee in the amount of 2-3 months' rent (not a deposit, just the agent's fee). In addition, most rental agreements require 2-3 months' rent as a deposit. Most apartments are rented out unfurnished; however, if the apartment is already equipped with furniture or appliances, you will probably have to pay an "Ablöse" (a one-off payment; the amount depends on the furnishings). The duration of the agreement is usually between one and five years.

You can find ads for apartments in Austrian newspapers, their websites and specialized portals (all available in German only):
