What our landlords say about us

Quote

"Renting out my apartment used to be a hassle. Finding tenants, making sure they pay on time, dealing with contracts—it always took up my time. Since I started with Urban Ground, I don't have to do anything. The rent comes in every month, and if there's any issue, they handle it. My apartment was only vacant for a month before they found a new tenant, so I'm not losing money like before. It's been a huge relief."

— Michael Bauer, Berlin

Quote

"I recently started working with Urban Ground, and so far, it's been great. They found a tenant for my apartment much faster than I expected, and I didn't have to do anything. No calls, no paperwork, no stress. I just get updates when needed. I'm also looking forward to seeing how things go with the rent increase over time, but for now, I'm just glad my apartment isn't sitting empty."

— Anna Schneider, Frankfurt

Translated from German

Quote

"At first, I wasn't sure if handing over my apartment to Urban Ground was the right decision. There was a small issue in the beginning, but they were quick to fix it, and since then, everything has been running smoothly. I used to pay brokers every time I needed a new tenant, which cost me a lot. Now, I don't have to deal with that anymore, and I know my apartment is in good hands."

— Thomas Weber, Hamburg

Translated from German

Quote

"Before, handling tenant move-ins and move-outs was a lot of work for me, especially since I don't live in Germany. I always had to ask friends for help, which was a big favor. When Urban Ground gave me an offer, it was lower than I expected, and I even had another tenant willing to pay €50 more. But I decided to trust them because I wanted things to be easy. Now, I don't have to organize anything or ask for help. Everything runs smoothly, and I'm happy I made this choice."

— Aisha Al-Mansoori, Dubai, UAE

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my apartment while it's rented?
+

Yes, under Germany's tenancy law, landlords can sell their property even while it is rented. However, existing tenancy agreements remain valid, and the new owner must honor the current lease. The tenancy can be terminated if the buyer requires it for self occupancy for themselves or their family members.

What happens if my unit is vacant?
+

We maintain a 99% occupancy rate through highly efficient operations for seamless transitions, leveraging 22 top-tier platforms for maximum reach, a 4.7-day turnaround from first contact with a prospect to rental contract through our fully automated tenant screening process, and market-driven pricing for swift rentals – making Urban Ground your best chance for achieving the highest occupancy.

How will my property be returned at the end of the contract?
+

At the end of the lease, your property will be handed over in the same condition as it was received, excluding normal wear and tear. We ensure proper maintenance throughout the lease term to preserve its condition.

How does Urban Ground manage the rental deposits?
+

Urban Ground holds the subtenant rental deposit in a separate account, this deposit is at least three times the owner's basic rent, the deposit is not paid out to the owner.

Is there language support for non-German speaking landlords?
+

Yes, Urban Ground offers comprehensive support in German and foreign languages to assist landlords who do not speak German - making management smooth for international owners.

Why is Urban Ground a Tenancy Management Company and Not a Property Management Company?
+

Urban Ground specializes in lettings and tenancy management, handling tenant placement, rental agreements, move-ins, move-outs, and communication. Unlike property management companies, we do not manage building maintenance, repairs, or facility operations. Instead, we work alongside property managers, allowing them to focus on property upkeep while we ensure seamless tenancy transitions.

What's the Difference Between Tenancy Management and Property Management?
+

Tenancy management focuses on finding tenants, handling rental agreements, managing tenant communication, and ensuring smooth move-ins and move-outs. Property management, on the other hand, deals with building maintenance, facility management, structural repairs, and compliance. While property managers oversee the building, tenancy management ensures high occupancy and rental income. Urban Ground specializes in tenancy management, complementing property managers rather than replacing them.

What Types of Property Owners Can Work with Urban Ground?
+

Urban Ground partners with private landlords, institutional investors, and real estate developers. Private landlords benefit from hassle-free tenancy management, institutional investors gain from efficient tenant placement and stable occupancy, and developers rely on us for rapid lease-ups. Whether for a single unit or a large portfolio, we ensure seamless tenancies and optimal rental returns.
