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:

• • WG-Gesucht 
  • WG Suche

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:

• HomeLike 
• HousingAnywhere 
• Wunderflats (Specially interesting if you do NOT have your Schufa yet)
• Spotahome 
• Crocodilian 

If you are a student from the most to the least affordable options:

• StudierendenWERK Berlin 
• Gewobag 
• Smartments 

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... ;)
