Welcome back another Wednesday to ReloBerlin!
Wow! Here we are in our second season! Where I will be focusing on a more realistic approach to planning your next chapter in Berlin ;). Thank you for listening
Finding a flat is not only an Odyssey, it has also become really expensive to live here. It is important to have a realistic view and plan accordingly.
But I really want to move to Berlin, I have no savings and I speak 0 German. Can i still do this?!
ABSOLUTELY! But is NOT going to be easy
If you have a limited budget, is better to apply for shared flats:
Also, if you have some savings, maybe you can start with a short-term furnished apartment that will provide you with the registration or Anmeldung:
Wunderflats (Specially interesting if you do NOT have your Schufa yet)
If you are a student from the most to the least affordable options:
There are also a lot of scams!!!
If it sounds too good to be true: scam
If the landlord is NOT in Germany
if the landlord writes you an email in broken German or English
Do not share your passport or sensitive data
If you are in a picky situation with your roommates or someone is taking advantage of you for whatever reason, please contact me. I might not be able to find a solution for every case, but you are not alone! You do not need to stand creepy guys, racism, sexism or any sort of hate.
On another note... ;)
