Fully managed

Being a landlord in Germany comes with duties. We take them on.

German tenancy law places specific obligations on landlords, with deadlines, formal requirements and paperwork in German. Many expat owners only discover these after they've bought. With fully managed, they become our job.

Legal and compliance
Address registration confirmation

Every new tenant needs a landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) to register their address, and it must be issued within two weeks of moving in. We issue it.

Notices and correspondence

We handle all written and verbal correspondence with tenants, including formal notices.

Rent arrears

We chase overdue rent and, if a tenant falls two months' rent behind, we issue the termination notice unless you tell us otherwise.

Safety duties

We make sure the duties that fall on you as owner, such as smoke detector checks, are carried out and recorded.

Money
Rent collection

We check incoming rent and service charge advance payments, and send reminders when something is missing.

Deposit

We collect the deposit, keep it in a separate account as the law requires, and settle and return it when the tenancy ends.

Annual service charge statement

Tenants must receive their service charge statement (Nebenkostenabrechnung) within twelve months of the end of the billing period, or you lose the right to claim back any shortfall. We prepare and send it on time.

Rent increases

We check what's allowed under the local rent index (Mietspiegel) and rent caps, then prepare and send the increase correctly.

Your building
Owners' association

If your apartment is part of a building with other owners, we represent you at owners' association meetings (Eigentümerversammlung), vote on your behalf, and keep you updated on decisions and costs.

Building management

We deal with the building's management company (WEG-Verwaltung) for you, so you don't have to.

Repairs and maintenance

When something breaks, we coordinate it from the tenant's report to the finished job, and record it in your property's history.

Renovations

For larger works, we organise tradespeople and manage the project.

Tax and paperwork
Tax-ready records

Rental income, expenses, receipts and depreciation are organised so the figures for Anlage V are ready for you or your tax adviser.

German post

Letters from tenants, authorities and the owners' association come to us. You get a short summary in English, and a question only if a decision is needed.

If you leave Germany

Many owners keep their apartment after moving abroad. Your rental income stays taxable in Germany, and we keep the property and its paperwork running from here.

Our story

Why we built Vermietler

Buying a rental apartment is one of the most attractive ways for expats in Germany to build wealth. Managing one is not, especially alongside a demanding job, in a second language, under unfamiliar rules.

Most owners hand it to a traditional property manager. But fees have gone up while the service hasn't changed: emails, phone calls, paperwork and spreadsheets. Property managers are stretched across too many units, tenants wait for answers, and landlords get little visibility into what's happening with their own property.

The problem isn't that property managers don't work hard. It's that the tools haven't evolved.

Vermietler automates the repetitive work of rental management, so it's faster for tenants, transparent for owners, and genuinely passive if you want it to be.

FAQ

Questions

Can I switch between self-managed and fully managed? +

Yes, at any time. Your documents, history and data stay where they are.

Do I need to speak German? +

No. Everything we do with you is in English. With fully managed, we handle all German communication with tenants, authorities and the owners' association.

I live outside Germany. Can I still use Vermietler? +

Yes. Fully managed is built for owners who can't be on the ground.

Do you find tenants? +

Not currently. We manage the tenancy once a tenant is in place.
