Renting and buying in Tyrol

Tyrol is one of Austria’s most beautiful but also expensive regions to live in. There are several reasons for this: high demand driven by the region’s excellent quality of life, limited availability of residential space due to Tyrol’s alpine topography (which also restricts the expansion of Innsbruck), and a high number of students in need of housing (nearly a quarter of Innsbruck’s population consists of students).

Smaller apartments typically have a higher price per square meter than larger ones. Key factors influencing rental prices include the size, location, and condition of the property. To get a realistic and up-to-date impression of current rental prices, we recommend comparing listings on various real estate platforms.

Legal aspects of renting and buying property

Austrian tenancy law is a complex legal matter, as different regulations apply depending on the type of property. Additionally, legal considerations beyond tenancy law may be relevant – for example, the ban on using properties for purposes not permitted by their zoning.

We recommend seeking comprehensive legal advice before signing a rental agreement ("Mietvertrag") or accepting a rental offer ("Mietanbot").

Buying property is an even more complex legal process and may also be subject to restrictions based on the buyer’s nationality. If you are planning to purchase real estate, we advise you to seek comprehensive legal guidance early on.

The most comprehensive advice can be expected from law firms and notaries, but various Tyrolean service institutions also offer assistance – in some cases even free of charge.
