Viennese rent explode: housing shortage threatens! Now what kind of tenants?
Wien, Österreich - The situation on the housing market in Vienna is increasingly tense. Current reports show that rents are increasing significantly, while the number of newly approved residential buildings is falling. In 2022, only 1,521 building permits were granted, which was reduced to 1,288 in 2023 and dramatically to only 1,045 last year. These figures mark the lowest number of permits in the past ten years and have a high level of challenging the challenges in front of which tenants and builders are facing. vienna.at reports that the development of rental prices continues to complicate.
The average rental price in Vienna is now around 10 euros per square meter, including operating costs. In the municipal building, rents have increased from 6.3 euros per square meter in the past ten years. In cooperative apartments, too, the price has increased from 6.5 euros to 8.8 euros per square meter. In other tenancy, rents have risen from 8.4 euros to EUR 12.2.
Rental price development and trends

Tenants with contracts that last shorter than two years pay an average of 13.2 euros per square meter. In the case of contracts between two and five years, the price is 12.3 euros, while renting with a term of five to ten years costs an average of EUR 10.5. The differences between temporary and unlimited rental contracts are absolutely worth mentioning: the latter cost an average of 9.2 euros per square meter, while temporary rental contracts even cost 14.1 euros.
While rental prices move further up, the hope that increasingly will be built in the next few years. In the last legislative period, 5,700 new rental apartments were created and 22,000 cooperative apartments are planned.
