    Ist das eine normale Erwartung an einen Mieter? Vor allem der sprachliche Teil?

      These are shit people, No student rent for 3 years, there are internship, praktikum ggoing on and no one wants to stay in a same city for that long. also ask the reason for the language requirements. Maybe something like this „if I am sharing the room with other students, then what is the problem for them understanding English? isn’t English been taught in the school? „

      I had older landlords who couldnt speak any English. They wouldnt mention language as a criteria explicitly though.

      No, it is not. … But as I am reading it, it is the landlord who has all these expectations, not the flatmate.

      I mean if the landlord is only speaking German I’d say that expectation is not unusual. It could also just mean that he prefers Germans as he thinks the risk is lower than a foreigner who might not be that familiar with „Hausverordnung“ and stuff. But nobody here has that background knowledge.

      Landlords not wanting to look for a new tenant every year is not unusual either but in the end only the contract matters. If there is no requirement about you having a minimum contract lease of a few years then it does not matter.

      There are many landlords who will refuse to rent to someone who doesn’t speak German. They won’t say it explicitly, but they’ll just reject you. While I think it’s unfair, I also understand to some extent if the landlord can’t speak English. It’s a hassle to have tenants you can’t communicate with easily.

      the setup confuses me. Why is renting 3 years a requirement, but you get an unlimited contract?

      Is this for a WG? In that case It would be understandable if they want to have the same language of communication for all tenants.

      Im trying to rent out my apartment and writing English, people comments in my post: „You have to learn German“, a lot of other shit beside it. So, that’s okay, some people just idiots, skip them.

      He/she set requirements, you are not interesting, just skip. Why bother to deal with it if you clearly don’t like the terms?

      It isn’t „normal“ but this doesn’t have to be a racist issue. The current tenant (the one you are talking to) doesn’t describe a racist but just a person who prefers a tenant who speaks German fluently. And the reason for this can just be the convenience of it, especially for people who happen to not be fluent in any other language but German.

      Misunderstandings are already common place between people who speak one language, speaking two entirely different languages makes life more complicated (for the landlord). And yes, it is absolutely „normal“ for people to ask for tenants who would like to stay a little longer than a year. 3 years is usually the time people need to do their Bachelor degree. And why do people want tenants to stay for longer? Because people just don’t wanna deal with all the paperwork and other mandatory things you always have to go through as often for every tenant who is about to move there.

      It is nothing too unusual if it is a private landlord in a student city.

      Especially for older folks, it is a pain to communicate with foreigners only speaking English.

      Also, frequently changing renters are also something they want to avoid, especially if they do not live in the same city. Being bombarded with messages, organising tours and hand overs, paperwork, etc is tedious.

      Student requirement can be, due to them preferring to have a certain housing structure and in many cases they can extract a parental Bürgschaft
