Renting a home in Berlin is very different to renting in London. For a start, this is a property market with very few owner-occupiers. Around 85 per cent of Berliners choose to rent — in London that figure is under 50 per cent — and protection for tenants is strong.
Once a tenant has a legal long-term contract, anything over six months, it is very difficult for a landlord to evict them.
