How loud it actually is
The official environmental noise map for Linz. The city has the motorway cover at Bindermichl and still has locations where the A7 sets the tone. The map shows the difference, the listing does not.

Rent a flat in Linz
Linz is the most affordable of the four provincial capitals we cover, and the one with the sharpest differences within a few streets: motorway, river and industry all sit close together. We show what that means for every address.

These rental flats are currently available in Linz.
To be honest: with 24 listings we are still at the beginning in Linz. That is not enough to compare, and we will not pretend otherwise. What this page does answer is below: how loud an address measures, how warm the Danube valley gets and what rent costs per district.

Search by district
How many rental flats are currently in which Linz district. The link opens the atlas with all the location data.
What we show and portals do not
The difference is not the number of listings, it is what stands next to each one. No property description answers these four questions honestly, because the landlord writes it.
How hot the summer gets
The Danube valley traps heat, while the slopes in Urfahr get air from above in the evening. We show the heat load per location, calculated from the climate model.
Open the heat map →How much sun the flat gets
Sunlight per facade, calculated with the official building heights around it. A south-facing balcony in a courtyard is not a south-facing balcony.

See the prices →What matters when renting
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.
Common questions
What does a rental flat cost in Linz?
Asking rents average around 12 euros per square metre gross. That makes Linz the most affordable of the four provincial capitals we cover, well below Vienna and Salzburg.
Do I pay the agent commission as a tenant?
Usually not. Since 1 July 2023 rental flats follow the first-instructing-party principle: whoever hires the agent pays, and that is almost always the landlord.
What housing support exists in Upper Austria?
The province pays rent assistance, with its own income limits and a rule on flat size. We keep a separate page for it.
How loud is it along the A7?
It depends strongly on the section. The cover at Bindermichl and Spallerhof reduced the load considerably there, other sections are open. The official noise map shows it address by address, and we put the value next to every listing.
