Flats to rent in Burgenland

Rent a flat in Burgenland

Burgenland is the cheapest province in Austria to live in: 5.80 euro per square metre net, roughly a quarter below the national average, and at 1.90 euro the lowest service charges in the country. The market is small, though: Statistics Austria counts only 32,000 main-residence rentals here, fewer than in any other province.

What is actually paid here

Not what is asked, but what is actually paid under current tenancies. Statistics Austria surveys this in its microcensus across every main-residence rental in the province, most recently for 2025.

  • € 5,80/m²Existing tenancies, Burgenland
  • € 7,70/m²Existing tenancies, Austria
  • € 9,70/m²New contract, Austria

Service charges add €1,90 per m², giving €7,70 gross. A contract less than two years old costs €9,70 per m² net across Austria, one running over twenty years €4,70: what you rent today therefore sits above the figure for existing tenancies.

Statistics Austria, microcensus on housing 2025: average rent across all main-residence rentals per province, euro per m². No finer level than the province exists for this.

Search by district

Where flats are currently listed to rent, broken down by district. The link opens the search with exactly that district.

What we show and the portals do not

What a flat really costs is not the rent alone. What the land around it costs is officially recorded.

What the province adds

Burgenland lends for a new home over 30 years at 0.9 per cent and adds up to 15,000 euro where the municipality is losing people. The subsidy is therefore highest exactly where the square metre is cheapest. Income limits, bonuses and the application are on our own page.

What land costs in the municipality

Statistics Austria publishes a building-land price for every Burgenland municipality. It explains rents too: where land by the lake or on the railway to Vienna is expensive, new builds are expensive, and they pull rents up with them.

What else a listing tells you

Every listing with us carries its location, the energy certificate with class and value, the features from the feed and the check by our quality gate. What a provider does not deliver stays empty instead of being guessed. On a rented house the energy certificate is the second rent.

What matters when renting in Burgenland

Since July 2023 the commission is paid by whoever ordered it

For rental flats Austria applies the first-instructing-party principle: whoever hires the agent pays the agent. If you are asked for commission as a tenant although the landlord hired the agent, that is usually not lawful.

Fixed term or open ended is the most important line

Fixed-term contracts under the full scope of the Tenancy Act run for at least three years and carry a 25 percent discount on the permitted base rent. After one year you can give notice yourself, subject to the notice period.

Gross is not net

Listings usually quote the gross rent including running costs and VAT, but sometimes only the base rent. Only comparing the same figure across several flats tells you which one is expensive.

Deposit, key money and what is allowed

Three gross monthly rents is the usual deposit, interest-bearing and refundable at the end. Key money is only lawful for items actually taken over or for investments of real value, never for the contract itself.

The lowest service charges in Austria are an average

The 1.90 euro per square metre is the lowest figure in the country, but it averages across all main-residence rentals. In a poorly insulated old building with oil heating, the heating alone sits above it. Before signing, ask for the last service-charge statement and the energy certificate, not the provincial average.

Frequently asked questions

What does a flat to rent cost in Burgenland?

Statistics Austria measures 5.80 euro per square metre net and 7.70 gross, on average 455.30 euro net per dwelling. Both are the lowest figures in Austria; the national average is 7.70 net per square metre and 508.60 per dwelling.

Are these the prices I would pay today?

No. These are the rents of all current tenancies. A contract less than two years old costs 9.70 euro per square metre net across Austria, one running over twenty years 4.70: more than double. Anyone renting anew today sits above the provincial figure.

Why are there so few flats to rent here?

Because people in Burgenland buy rather than rent. The microcensus counts 32,000 main-residence rentals in the whole province, fewer than anywhere else in Austria and about four per cent of the Vienna stock. Add the lowest purchase price in the country: a flat costs 1,570 euro per square metre at the median of the districts.

Where is Burgenland most expensive?

For rents no district figure is published. For purchases the range runs from 2,616 euro per square metre in Neusiedl am See down to 1,156 in Güssing, more than double. The north by the lake and on the railway to Vienna is expensive, the south is cheap.
