About me

Renting out is a matter of trust.

My name is Jeannette Bottlang. As a real estate agent and graduate in business administration (Diplom-Kauffrau), I bring solid business expertise to every rental – and as a private landlord with my own property portfolio, I know exactly what matters to you: reliable tenants, a watertight lease, and no unpleasant surprises.

Through my website I receive daily enquiries from people looking for a rental apartment in Berlin and the surrounding area. I carefully vet these prospects and keep them on a waiting list. For you as a landlord, that means your apartment doesn't sit advertised for weeks – I often already have the right candidates on file.

You won't get 200 unfiltered enquiries from me, but a curated selection of vetted applicants with complete documentation. I handle the rest – viewings, follow-up questions, rejections.

Services

It's this simple

Four steps to a solvent tenant for your property.

Initial consultation

We talk, free of charge and without obligation, about your property, your target rent and your requirements for the tenant.

Valuation & mandate

You receive my rent valuation and a transparent offer. Only once everything fits do you engage me.

I take over

Listing brochure, advertisements, viewings, credit checks – in the end you're presented with the two or three best candidates.

Contract & handover

You choose, I take care of the lease and handover. Your property is rented – without you having to do a single viewing.

Who it's for

When an agent is worth it for renting out.

No time for viewings

You're busy with work or don't live locally – and would prefer not to handle 80 enquiries and viewing appointments on the weekend yourself.

Bought as an investment

You've acquired an apartment as an investment and now need a solvent tenant quickly – without vacancy costs.

Inherited or taken over

You've inherited a property and want to rent it out, but aren't familiar with the details of tenancy law and rent indexes.

Had bad experiences

Rent arrears, disputes at move-out, the wrong tenant choice – this time the selection should be professional and thorough.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Since 2015, the "orderer pays" principle (Bestellerprinzip) applies: as the client, you as the landlord bear the commission – typically two months' net cold rent plus VAT. In exchange, you're spared listing costs, time, and above all the risk of choosing the wrong tenant. We'll discuss the specific offer in your free initial consultation.

That depends on location, condition and rent level. Thanks to my existing waiting list of tenant candidates, however, I can place many apartments considerably faster than the classic route – often within two weeks.

Before recommending anyone, I check their SCHUFA credit report, proof of income for the last three months, certificate of no rent arrears, and the plausibility of their self-disclosure form. You only receive candidates with complete, vetted documentation.

Of course. I present you with the best candidates along with all their documents – you always make the final decision.

Berlin has rent control (Mietpreisbremse) and a qualified rent index (Mietspiegel) in place. Before marketing, I check what rent is legally permissible and point out both leeway (e.g. after modernisation, or first letting after comprehensive renovation) and risks. This helps you avoid later repayment claims.
