Finding an apartment in Hannover

Finding an apartment in Hannover is, in comparison to Hamburg, Frankfurt or Munich, a smaller challenge. Hannover offers a broad price range for renting an apartment and is a city that expands. But in the popular districts like Zooviertel, Oststadt and Linden the demand exceeds the offer. The same goes for other central districts and more suburbian areas like Bemerode, Kirchrode and List as well as Südstadt that have risen to popularity. There are usually much more interested people than apartments available. If they then don’t speak German, it often seems impossible to come out on top of competitors.

Thanks to our know-how it is feasible though. With a little patience, flexibility and good planning we always find a suitable apartment for our customers!

Hannover has many districts with very different price categories. Currently landlords consider one third of your income as a maximum rent payment. A positive SCHUFA-entry as well as a declaration of no rental debts are essential for their commitment.
