Hamburg / Stuttgart (dpa) - According to an evaluation by real estate experts, Stuttgart is the most expensive city for tenants in Germany.
There, with existing rental contracts, an average of 10.38 euros per square meter net rent would have to be paid, reported the Hamburg real estate specialist F + B on Thursday, referring to an evaluation of the local rent index.
That is 46 percent above the 7.11 euros per square meter that were determined on average in the rent index cities.
In the Corona year 2020, the increase in existing rents weakened slightly.
The so-called local comparable rents rose by an average of 1.7 percent in 2020, 0.1 percentage points less than in the previous year.
The evaluated official data reflected the development of rental costs for millions of households in Germany, emphasized F + B.
In Munich, tenants paid an average of 9.72 euros per square meter of net rent without heating, in Frankfurt / Main 8.69 euros.
For Hamburg, 8.62 euros were determined, for the two NRW cities Düsseldorf and Cologne 8.50 and 8.47 euros respectively.

"Living in Berlin is comparatively cheap if you use the existing rents in other metropolitan regions as a benchmark," said F + B managing director Bernd Leutner.
In the western districts of Berlin, existing apartments currently cost an average of EUR 7.40, in the eastern districts of EUR 6.65 per square meter.
The figures show what financial advantages tenants with old rental contracts "still have".
However, existing rents in both the old and new buildings in Berlin have risen above average, while long-term tenants in the large estates are still relatively cheap.
According to the figures, the most expensive municipality in Germany is the Munich neighboring municipality of Karlsfeld in the Dachau district.
The average net rent there is 10.90 euros per square meter.
In other communities in the “bacon belts” of Munich and Stuttgart, the existing rents are also above average.
There, the high asking rents of the past few years are now also reflected with a time lag in the local comparative rents.
