Flats to rent in Carinthia
A main-residence rental costs 394.80 euro net a month on average in Carinthia. That is the only provincial figure in Austria below 400 euro, almost a quarter under the national average of 508.60. Per square metre it is 5.90 euro net. That is the rent of all running tenancies, though, and a new contract costs more.

We currently hold no flat to rent in Carinthia. Our providers are so far mostly in eastern Austria, and the Klagenfurt market is young with us. The official rent figures below still apply, they come from Statistics Austria and not from our own stock. A saved search reports the first listing.
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.
Service charges add €2,30 per m², giving €8,10 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.
What a flat really costs is not the rent alone. Two things about that are officially documented.
Carinthia pays housing benefit to tenants in privately owned older stock too, not only to housing-association tenants. Who gets how much depends on income, household size and the dwelling size considered reasonable. What applies is on our own page.
See housing benefit →Statistics Austria publishes building-land prices per municipality. In Carinthia that separates the lake belt from the rest of the province more sharply than any rent figure, and a house by the lake is rarely let.
See land prices →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.
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 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.
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.
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.
In the lake belt around Velden, Pörtschach and Maria Wörth part of the housing stock is on the market as holiday accommodation. An offer running only from October to May, or quoting the deposit in weekly rents, is not a main residence. Ask before the viewing whether you may register there.
Statistics Austria measures 5.90 euro per square metre net and 8.10 gross, on average 394.80 euro net per dwelling. That is the lowest provincial figure in Austria; the national average is 508.60. No figure per district is surveyed for rents.
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.
Usually not. Since 1 July 2023 the first-instructing-party principle applies to rentals: whoever instructs the agent pays them, and that is almost always the landlord.
For rents no district figure is published. For purchases the median across the districts is 2,713 euro per square metre, from 3,605 in Villach Land down to 1,255 in Sankt Veit an der Glan. The lake belt is thus almost three times the interior, and that spread is likely to show up in rents too.
