Mietspiegel for Munich 2027
What is a Mietspiegel?
A Mietspiegel provides an overview of rents of privately financed flats in a specific city or municipality that are customary in this locality. In accordance with the legal bases, the rents are indicated depending on the type, size, furnishings, condition and location of the flat, including the equipment related to energy consumption and condition. The Mietspiegel may only include rents that have been newly agreed or that have changed in the last six years.
In current rental agreements, the rent may only be increased up to the amount of the comparative rent that is customary in this locality. For new rental agreements in Munich, the rent may not be more than ten percent above the comparative rent that is customary in Munich.
The currently valid Mietspiegel for Munich 2025 [www.mietspiegel-muenchen.de] is what is known as a qualified Mietspiegel, which was compiled according to scientific principles and recognised as qualified by the Munich City Council. In accordance with Art. 558 of the German Civil Code, when requesting a rent increase for flats to which the qualified Mietspiegel is applicable, landlords must state the rent customary for the locality, which is determined on the basis of the Mietspiegel.
