    1. German housing market is to most dysfunctional market ever. 

      In majority of the civilised world, you have the paperwork, you have money, you take the flat. In Germany landlords in after sought areas ( pretty much every city with jobs ) are very picky with your values, background, ask ridiculous things like PowerPoint and presentations, have tenants preferences ( “only singles” “not old” “young couple no kids “ etc etc..). 

      Is beyond pathetic specially because there is no correlation between those odd fetiches and being good tenants that pay on time and give no problems. 

    2. I mean, that’s a bit like water is wet: Landlords can pick who they rent to, so they will rent to tenants they deem to be lower risk.

      More homes need to be built and rents need to be allowed to rise.

    4. my landlord didnt want to rent out my next door apartment to a foreigners family because „of the smell“ when they cook their food. so instead she rented out to a german dude. a month in the police had to kick in his door, with full kitted special forces guys, because he had guns and was threatening to kill people online. the door was damaged for like a month, he went to jail (i guess, he never showed up again) but the floor smelled like spilled beer and cigarettes since his door stood open for a month until it got repaired.

      the next renter, again a german dude, full blown afd idiot. i can hear him yell into the internet about foreigners ruining germany, at midnight hours +. the biggest loser you have ever seen. but thank god she didnt rent out the flat to someone who likes to cook curry

      Sadly, the owners have so many applicants to chose from, they can set the criteria they want, as long as they don’t write them down.

    6. No shit, unfortunately due to a bad „track record“, can you blame them for not taking the risk?

      My uncle is a real estate agent and he told me his Turkish landlords are the worst when it comes to renting to foreigners. They especially don’t want other turks living in their flats. Sounds rediculus, but that is his experience.

    8. Probably The Foreign person is the key concept to focus after 2010. I worked in India for a year and all my friends including me were getting extra price because we werent Indians. Even a lot of people from Afraca studying there have to go thru this. Extra charge to foreigns is everywhere, it does not matter where you focus.
