How do you rent an apartment or house as an international student in Germany?
Finding a rental apartment or house in Germany can be tough, especially in big cities due to high competition. Landlords often prefer long-term tenants, and rental contracts might include a minimum rental period (Mindestmietdauer). During the application process, you might need to provide documents like proof of income and a Schufa record, so be ready for that.
