Room in a shared flat and Techo: the original soundtrack of Berlin
Manage episode 407389145 series 3561165
Welcome back another Wednesday to ReloBerlin!
Wow! Here we are in our second season! Where I will be focusing on a more realistic approach to planning your next chapter in Berlin ;). Thank you for listening
Finding a flat is not only an Odyssey, it has also become really expensive to live here. It is important to have a realistic view and plan accordingly.
But I really want to move to Berlin, I have no savings and I speak 0 German. Can i still do this?!
ABSOLUTELY! But is NOT going to be easy
If you have a limited budget, is better to apply for shared flats:
Also, if you have some savings, maybe you can start with a short-term furnished apartment that will provide you with the registration or Anmeldung:
- HomeLike
- HousingAnywhere
- Wunderflats (Specially interesting if you do NOT have your Schufa yet)
- Spotahome
- Crocodilian
If you are a student from the most to the least affordable options:
There are also a lot of scams!!!
- If it sounds too good to be true: scam
- If the landlord is NOT in Germany
- if the landlord writes you an email in broken German or English
- Do not share your passport or sensitive data
If you are in a picky situation with your roommates or someone is taking advantage of you for whatever reason, please contact me. I might not be able to find a solution for every case, but you are not alone! You do not need to stand creepy guys, racism, sexism or any sort of hate.
On another note... ;)
You can discover the story of Techno by requesting the "hidden alternative tour" by dm on instagram @ungatoconpasaporte
