Berlin offers an enormous range, from a compact one-room flat in Wedding to a penthouse in Grunewald. At FARAWAYHOME all prices are all-inclusive final prices: electricity, heating, water, internet and the broadcasting fee are included. No additional payments, no hidden items.

RENTAL PRICES FOR FURNISHED APARTMENTS IN BERLIN 2026 (ALL-INCLUSIVE)

Degressive pricing: the longer the rental period, the lower the monthly price. A furnished two-room apartment in Schöneberg (60 m²) costs around €2,200 for one month, roughly €1,900 for three months, approximately €1,700 for six months and €1,500 for twelve months. That is a saving of up to 32 percent.

Location tip: the best balance of central location and attractive price level is offered by Schöneberg, Friedrichshain and Wilmersdorf.

FLEXIBLE RENTAL PERIODS: THE RIGHT TERM FOR EVERY SITUATION

FARAWAYHOME offers furnished apartments and flats across the entire spectrum of rental periods, from a few months to several years. Many landlords on our platform offer flexible terms with the option to extend. You are never tied in for longer than necessary.

Tenants with shorter needs (one to three months) benefit from immediately available apartments with no long lead time. Tenants staying longer (six months and more) receive significantly reduced monthly rents, up to 32 percent less than a one-month booking. All rental agreements include full tenant protection and deposit rules under German law.

FURNISHED APARTMENT VS. ALTERNATIVES IN BERLIN

Many providers advertise low base rents and stay quiet about utility costs of €80 to 120 per month. At FARAWAYHOME the listed price is the final price. This is how the options compare:

When is furnished worth it? For stays of up to 18 to 24 months, a furnished apartment is almost always the more economical choice. An unfurnished flat requires buying furniture (€3,000 to 5,000), kitchen equipment, separate contracts for electricity and internet (€80 to 120 per month) and a deposit of up to three months' base rent. On top of that come weeks of lead time for viewings, a SCHUFA credit check and the move itself. Furnished, you move in within a few days.

TIERGARTEN: CLOSE TO THE PARK AND DIPLOMATIC

Between Berlin's largest inner-city park, Potsdamer Platz and the main station. The diplomatic quarter, the Philharmonie and several corporate headquarters. The first choice for embassy staff, conference visitors and professionals who need maximum mobility.

ADLERSHOF AND NEUKÖLLN

Adlershof is Berlin's largest science and technology park, with more than 1,000 companies and several Humboldt University institutes.

WHO IS A FURNISHED APARTMENT IN BERLIN RIGHT FOR?

Expats and international professionals face a double challenge: a new city and a new country, often with very little lead time. A furnished apartment through FARAWAYHOME solves the most pressing problems at once: available immediately, transparently priced, and with the option to register your address at the Bürgeramt. Without registration there is no bank account, no health insurance and no tax number. You will find the details in our Expat & Relocation Guide.

Business travellers and project staff need more than a hotel room: their own kitchen, a separate workspace, a washing machine and stable WiFi. Flexible rental periods from one month and the all-inclusive rent simplify expense reporting. For companies with recurring needs, our Corporate Housing programme offers central billing and framework agreements.

Academics and visiting researchers on sabbaticals, guest professorships or research projects need a fully equipped home close to their institution. Furnished apartments in Dahlem (FU), Mitte (HU), Charlottenburg (TU) or Adlershof (HU institutes, WISTA) offer the independence and comfort that university guest housing rarely can.

Families in transitional phases need a fast solution with enough space and structure. Prenzlauer Berg, Wilmersdorf and Zehlendorf are particularly suitable: close to schools, playgrounds and paediatricians.

Digital nomads value Berlin as one of the most attractive locations in Europe: fast internet, co-working in every neighbourhood and a huge international community. Flexible rental periods and WiFi included.

Without registration there is no bank account, no mobile phone contract and no tax number.

CAN I RENT A FURNISHED APARTMENT WITHOUT A SCHUFA CREDIT REPORT?

Yes. Many landlords on FARAWAYHOME accept alternatives: international proof of income, an employer guarantee, an advance payment of two to three months' rent, or an international credit report. Prepare at least two of these alternatives. That will improve your chances considerably.

HOW QUICKLY CAN I MOVE IN?

Many listings on FARAWAYHOME are available immediately. Once the contract is signed and the deposit paid, you can often move into immediately available properties within a few days. The deposit is usually one to two months' rent.

ARE UTILITY COSTS INCLUDED IN THE RENT?

Yes, at FARAWAYHOME all utility costs are included in the all-inclusive rent: electricity, water, heating, WiFi and the broadcasting fee. One amount, one monthly payment, no additional demands.

DO I RENT DIRECTLY FROM THE LANDLORD OR THROUGH AN AGENCY?

Directly from the landlord. The rental agreement is concluded between you and the owner or property management company, not with FARAWAYHOME. We are the platform that verifies every listing and supports you with your questions. For you as a tenant there is no commission and no fee. All landlords on our platform are experienced providers with professional letting standards.

FURNISHED APARTMENT OR SERVICED APARTMENT: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

A furnished apartment is a regular rental flat with complete furnishings and a classic rental agreement. A serviced apartment additionally offers hotel-style services such as cleaning and laundry. Serviced apartments suit stays of one week to three months. For longer stays, a furnished apartment is usually 30 to 50 percent more economical and offers more space and privacy.

IS TEMPORARY FURNISHED LETTING IN BERLIN LEGAL?

Yes. Section 549 of the German Civil Code (BGB) permits fixed-term furnished letting. All offers on FARAWAYHOME are aimed at tenants with a legitimate temporary housing need and comply with Berlin's Zweckentfremdungsverbotsgesetz (ZwVbG).

HOW LONG CAN I RENT A FURNISHED APARTMENT IN BERLIN?

The minimum rental period for most FARAWAYHOME listings is one to three months. Maximum periods of 12 to 24 months are common, and extensions are often possible. Whether for a fixed-term project or a long-term position: discuss the term directly with the landlord.
