Search online, check housing portals regularly, sign up for newsletters, use social media groups, and contact people who offer rooms.”
Read the prices and conditions: on top of the basic rent ("KM" / "Kaltmiete"), there are usually additional expenses ("NK / "Nebenkosten") such as gas, water and electricity. Go here for more useful terminology and abbreviations.
Unless you book a room in the student residences, DO NOT transfer any money in advance (for rent, security deposit, etc.). Scammers often lure people with cheap private offers and ask for rent or deposits upfront. Always visit apartments and meet landlords in person before signing any contracts.
If you're running out of time: Don’t panic. Stay in a hostel or with a fellow student. Keep searching throughout the semester. Also, consider short-term options for the first few weeks or months (boarding houses, interim rent)!
Tips for a successful flatshare / shared flat search
Get in touch with the person offering the flatshare. Keep in mind that there is a shortage of affordable housing, so landlords and potential flatmates have a large number of candidates to choose from. It’s not advisable to simply apply by expressing desperation and asking for their help. While you may be in urgent need of accommodation, future flatmates are looking for someone to share their living space and part of their life with – not just to assist someone in need.
Write a personal introduction that includes details such as:
General information: your name, age, your studies or job, and whether you already live in Germany or are planning to move from abroad.
What you enjoy doing (hobbies, weekly activities, travelling, etc.).
How you would describe yourself (your character, social life, etc.).
Whether you have ever lived in a shared flat (WG).
What is important to you when it comes to living together.
Pro tip: Refer to specific details from the flat advertisement to show your interest in the flatshare. For example, if the ad mentions activities like cooking together, going out, or parties, express interest in these activities. If they are seeking a flatmate who will actively engage and potentially become a friend, tailor your message to reflect that.
Hello (names of the flatmates),
My name is (…) and I am (…) years old. I’m planning to move to Rosenheim soon for my studies in (…), and I’m really looking forward to exploring the city with my future flatmates. I came across your advert and felt compelled to get in touch.
In my spare time, I enjoy (...). I’d describe myself as (...) I’ve never lived in a shared flat before, but I’m excited to give it a try and make new friends. I would love to foster a positive atmosphere in the flat. Perhaps we could cook together occasionally or organise a movie night (...). I’m keen to meet new people, and maybe someone could show me around the city.
In your ad, you mentioned that you all enjoy (…). I’d love to join in with that!
I’d be delighted to get to know you all. Feel free to contact me anytime via (email/Whatsapp/etc.).

Prepare a detailed portfolio for your application. Include a personal introduction (e.g. short CV, photo, tenant self-disclosure in German/English, German language certificate, proof of steady income such as payslips, scholarship, credit report, parental guarantee letter, or blocked account), and copies of personal documents (e.g. passport, ID, visa, residence permit, student proof).
Get personal liability insurance (learn more). Landlords prefer tenants who are covered for damage to their property. Compare offers here.
Pay your deposit and rent on time. Once you've signed the contract, set up an automatic transfer with your bank to ensure payments are made promptly.
Keep the apartment and communal areas clean. Respect quiet hours at night and on weekends.
Waste disposal and recycling are mandatory. Follow the house rules and separate your waste properly. There are different bins for glass, packaging, and paper. For more details, ask your landlord or housekeeper.
