How it works.

You tell us once what you are looking for. Then we do the work, and you hear from us when something fits.

  1. First, a short call

    We go through city, preferred area, size, budget and your timeline. That becomes your search profile.

  2. Then we search every day

    Every day we check new listings and send matching landlords your complete profile before the listing fills up.

  3. Once it fits, you view it

    We fit viewings around your calendar. You only visit apartments that suit you, and you say yes when everything is right.

Searching is a job.

We do it for you. Instead of trawling the portals every evening, you only get the replies that matter.

    Applications with your profile

    We write to landlords on your behalf, with the profile we agree on together in the first call. Fast and complete.

What tenants ask us

How much does an apartment search with flaty cost?

It depends on where and what you are looking for. We agree the price individually in the first call, before you commit to anything.

Are you an estate agency?

No. flaty is a search service for tenants. We do not let our own apartments; we run your search on the open market.

Which cities do you cover?

All of Germany. You tell us your city and preferred area, and we search right there. The search runs online; you go to the viewings yourself.

How does the process work?

You send the form and we get back to you in your time slot. In the first call we set up your search profile. Then we check listings, apply for you and arrange viewings with you.

How long does the search take?

That depends on the city, your budget and your criteria. In the first call we tell you honestly what is realistic for you, and we adjust the search if it takes longer.

I have a WBS. Does that help?

Yes. With a Wohnberechtigungsschein (WBS, the German housing entitlement certificate) subsidised apartments are open to you too. Mention it in the form and we search for them specifically.

Do I have to go to viewings myself?

Yes. Only you can tell whether an apartment feels right. We arrange the times and tell you beforehand which documents to bring.

Do you speak English?

Yes. The first call and everything we agree with you can be in German or English. We write applications in German, as landlords expect.

What happens to my data?

We use your details only for your apartment search and for contacting you. This site sets no cookies and uses no tracking. The privacy policy has the details.

Three minutes to get started

That is how long the form takes; we handle the rest. We get back to you in your time slot for the first call.
