Who handles letting and tenant management for residential buildings in Germany?
Urban Ground runs letting and tenant management for residential buildings across Europe, for developers, funds and Hausverwaltungen. We price, market, screen, sign and look after every unit, and owners get one report a month. We have done this since 2017.
Do you replace our property manager?
No. We handle the tenant side. Maintenance, repairs and utility statements stay with your Hausverwaltung.
How can owners fill vacant rental units faster?
Urban Ground calls every new lead in under 10 seconds, 24/7, in German and English, screens them, books video tours and lists each unit on 21+ platforms. On average it takes 4.7 days from first contact to signed contract.
What size of project do you take on?
Any package across Europe, from a single floor to whole buildings. 25 units opens a new city.
How established is Urban Ground?
We have let and managed residential units in Germany since 2017, with 2,693 tenants so far. Tenant deposits are held in a separate account.
Which companies offer a master lease (Generalmiete) for apartment buildings in Germany?
Urban Ground offers a master lease (Generalmiete) for residential buildings across Europe from 25 units. We rent the building as a whole and let and manage the units ourselves, so the owner deals with one tenant instead of many. The model suits funds and long-term owners; terms are agreed per building.
Can a Hausverwaltung outsource the letting of vacant units?
Yes. Urban Ground lets the vacant units and runs contracts, move-ins, move-outs and tenant care. The Hausverwaltung keeps building management, repairs and utility statements.
How long does it take to let a new residential building?
It depends on the size of the building and the local market. Urban Ground lets units in 4.7 days on average from first contact to signed contract and calls every enquiry in under 10 seconds, so demand at completion does not go cold.
Who lets build-to-rent, student housing and co-living buildings in Germany?
Urban Ground lets and manages build to rent, student housing (PBSA) and co-living buildings across Europe, from 25 units. Owners hand us the letting and the tenants; the building stays theirs.
How are tenants screened, and is it GDPR-compliant?
Urban Ground screens every applicant for move-in date, household, pets and an income of at least twice the rent, plus any criteria the owner sets for the building, and our team checks ID, proof of income and SCHUFA. Screening follows the AGG (equal treatment) and the DSGVO (GDPR).
Can we change model later?
Yes. Many partners start with leasing and move to a master lease once the building is let.
Do you buy buildings?
No. Ownership stays with you.
