Information for prospective tenants regarding the rent control:

In Bielefeld, the rent control (Mietpreisbremse) is currently in effect.

The offered apartment has 64 m² of living space and was built in 1976.

According to the current Bielefeld rental index 2024 (Link: https://www.bielefeld.de/mietspiegel):

Step 1: Calculation according to the rent control:

According to the 2024 rental index, our apartment is classified as follows:

• Building age class: 1961–1977: €7.87 per m²

• Good/very good residential area: +€0.34

• Total per m² from the rental index: €8.21

• Total apartment rent per the rental index: €525.44

Since this is a new tenancy, an increase of 10% on the permitted rental index is allowed even under the rent control.

Per m² of living space: 8.21€/m² × 110% = approximately €9.031

Total apartment rent with a 10% increase: 525.44€ × 110% = approximately €577.98

Step 2: Modernization surcharge (8% of the costs per year)

In addition, despite the rent control, 8% of the modernization costs from the past three years can be added to the cold rent.

The following modernizations were carried out from 2024 to 2025:

• Windows, balcony door, heating, new bathroom, electrical work, new doors, new flooring, kitchen (tile splash removed and only plastered)

Total modernization costs: €32,703.13

8% of the modernization costs apportioned per month: (32,703.13€ × 8%) / 12 ≈ €218.02

Modernization cost per m²: 218.02€ / 64 m² ≈ €3.41

Costs for owner-performed work are not shown here since they already exceed the offered rental price.

Step 3: Calculation of the new permissible rent

• Rent control limit: approximately €577.98

• Modernization surcharge: €218.02

• New maximum permissible cold rent: €796.00

Items not subject to rent control:

• Garage: €60.00

Summary:

Thus, despite the rent control, the following can be charged for the apartment:

• Cold rent: €796.00

• Garage: €60.00

Conclusion: With our rental price, we remain below the permissible limit according to the rent control:

Offered cold rent:

€768 (apartment) + €60 (garage) per month
