The compliant solution: living from 3 months
How the Room Estate model turns an impermissible short-term let into genuine, long-term living.
The ban targets short-term, furnished letting — not living. That is exactly what the Room Estate model is built for.
Why Room Estate is compliant
Room Estate lets furnished apartments — but not as short-term or business apartments. With us:
- A real tenancy agreement instead of a hospitality or short-term model.
- Tenants register their main residence at the apartment.
- A term of 3 months or more, typically open-ended.
- This makes it genuine residential use under the Wohnanteil.
Unlike providers who withdraw housing through short-term furnished letting, our model has been proven and built for compliance since 2014.
The offer for owners and operators
Room Estate master-leases your apartments (term up to 20 years) and pays a fixed, predictable rent. Room Estate carries the vacancy risk and handles tenants, administration and operations — turnkey.
This turns the now-impermissible short-term let into compliant long-term living — with no break in income and no effort.
This page provides general information, not legal advice. The model is designed to comply with residential use; a case-by-case review remains decisive.
