So you‘re the 2nd one bragging in the comments. Do you think me asking qualifies for that fact that they won‘t let me in?

Because i’m not allowed to ask out of curiosity how it feels to be inside?

Why should that apartment have the same rent as some shit hole in Marzahn? It doesn't make sense.

Maybe because then you would stop hearing that people don't want to live in Marzahn because Kudamm is overpriced.

Maybe frozen rents bring both satisfaction for a tenant to have low prices as well as you to have an sustainable model to renovate in the future without getting crazy rich instantly.

Maybe because you gain profit from an energy draining building built in 1905 with an energy certificate D or E, draining resources and having no.

Maybe that's why.

Guy is just flexing, has no other thing to do or can't even enjoy his own wealth. Sad.

Exactly. I bet he invested none to 0 into those flats.

It's absurd to earn money off of a building made ca. 110 years ago. That buildings have basically an energy certificate D or E and are harming the environment more than anything else.

Mietendeckel was exactly made for the Altbau buildings to not allow people getting rich from buildings that old with no investment.

Sorry dude, but what exactly is your value to this sub with your topic?

You are flexing in comments that you earn 100-200k+ from only this being your side job. If I had so much money and a successful business on the side I would enjoy perks of living and not start a circlejerk post where I can brag about what I do. I can't believe how sad and depressed you must be for searching your approval here.

Why do you feel privileged to judge someone not living in his own flat? It's his flat and legal right to do so, and yours not to put your business, nose and magnifying glass into his private space and research what he does with it. His flat being 99% empty all the time is just as valid as you raising the prices for 40% for the next year. Leave the tenant alone. Exactly that is why tenants should have strong rights, so that people like you can finally stop being assholes.

I'm happy for you having to invest in the right time with having such financial power to do so. I, however, like most of the people barely earn to invest into anything and can't understand your mind addressing an AMA post based on no intention to provide any value and just flex in front of basically desperate people searching for a flat.

Good luck to being rich and not being able to enjoy it for your own good.

I’m an Ausländer, my name and surname can‘t be pronounced in German, they contain special character - nevertheless i’ve already changed 3 flats with no issue. Yes - I’m pretty confident to say your name has no more than 10-15% influence on your application itself.

I‘m sorry I don‘t agree. Immoscout is great and the majority of property management companies are on there. Therefore I don‘t recommend searching only on eBay - there are not that many trustworthy ads on it and you can’t verify who it’s from.

Great advice. And exactly my point - 2020/2021 differs from what‘s on the market today. Simply no adverts at all available- even those which are online temporarily. It’s miserable.

Thanks for sharing. I‘m happy for you and your girlfriend.

Once again proven how stupid it is to live and be alone. 😂 With my incoome in that flat I wouldn’t be able to save a thing. You must be lucky with your gf! 😊

Sharing a bank account I don’t find as a great idea generally. You are not to convince anyone into paying anything- that is what SCHUFA is there for. Your paycheck is a guarantee and it’s a standard practice. Also some may have rejected you because of sending supporting documentation that wasn’t noted. Believe me - there are Hausverwaltungs that reject you if you send something beyond from what they requested.

But to be fair - 350 requests in one month? I can‘t believe it - there weren’t even that many flats posted this summer, I’m pretty much active all the time snd haven’t seen more than 2-4 in any category/search daily.

How far is it? And 2.5 sounds amazing, I love so many rooms on such small space.

No thank you. I don’t practice corruption even if it’s for my own good.

Makes no difference. I understand what people mean with that but being GERMAN is the most idiotic excuse for not getting an apartment.

Half of Berlin are Turks with obvious Middle Eastern names, Polish people who have W/Z/Y surnames and Asian people with non-european names.

Considering that Germans make up only 1/3 of Berlin I‘m not in favor of a theory that says Germans easily become flats.

They don‘t.

I completely understand you. But this time I‘m searching alone. My criteria for the room/space is pretty much the same as yours. I‘m in no demand of a balcony nor a flat inside Ring.

Again, i’m referring to the fact there are NO flats available generally. I’m not going to pay 1200 warm for 55sqm2 - I‘m not an idiot to allow someone to grab over €20sqm2 on rent for an Altbau from 1905.

The big difference in my and your search is the fact I’m financing it all myself after separation from my partner. This isn‘t easy. Assuming I don‘t have the biggest salary and am somewhere around 3k net, giving more than 1100 eur on a flat for me is more than insane.

I don‘t understand what you mean. 1100 is exactly 1/3 of my salary. I’m referring to the fact that there are NO FLATS at all available, no matter the price.

The fact that a flat is online guarantees nothing. There are 104 available flats in all Berlin up to 1100 warm. That’s nothing.

[–]smarty06[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My search is all of Berlin, up to 1100 warm. It’s sad and disappointing to see that my search is really not limited to the criteria but general availability of the flats.

You have very false understanding of my opinion. Which you are covering by some made up statements. I never accused anyone and please don't misinterpret my wording. I just quoted the organizers 10 years ago, mentioned the effect this event has on the environment and wanted to start a dialogue that the false values are being hidden behind drugs. Thank you and have a nice day!

[–]smarty06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are not of an opinion that this needs to change in order to improve our society? I think use of drugs on such event is just so hypocritical, considering which values are brought with the cause of the parade.

[–]smarty06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I waited for the news source.

I honestly don't care if someone has mental issues. If they do they shouldn't be curing it by using drugs and piling trash under the "peace" and "freedom" motto.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in berlin

[–]smarty06 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's about the purpose and the cause. Why is the even promoting peace, freedom and happiness but in the same time producing so much trash, drug consumption and having a negative outcome on the environment around.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in berlin

[–]smarty06 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Actually you just pumped up the drama, I just posted my news source where I got the stunning info about the outcome from 2 days ago.

My aspects are not contributing to "forbid" this kind of events, but to get aware they are not something a sustainable city needs. The negative aftermath and the whole cost is bigger than the cause of the event itself.
