Houses to rent in Burgenland
Burgenland is the cheapest province in Austria to live in. The officially surveyed rent is €5.80 per square metre net, roughly a quarter below the Austrian average. It is also the smallest rental market: Statistics Austria counts 32,000 main-residence rentals here, fewer than in any other province. A whole house to rent is therefore rare.

These houses are currently for rent in Burgenland.
We currently hold no house to rent in Burgenland. Our providers are so far mostly in Vienna and Lower Austria, and houses to rent are the scarcest segment across Austria. 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 €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.
For a house, the land it stands on is what counts. What that costs in every municipality is officially recorded, and we show it.
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.
See the subsidy →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.
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. On a rented house the energy certificate is the second rent.
A building with no more than two self-contained dwellings is fully exempt from the Austrian Tenancy Act (§ 1 para 2 no 5 MRG). No reference rent, no ceiling, no rules on fixed terms, no statutory protection against notice. What counts is the contract, which makes it more important here than for any flat.
In an unrenovated detached house it can match the base rent in winter. The energy certificate is mandatory for every letting and belongs before the viewing, not before the signature. A house rated F costs a multiple of a renovated one to run.
No building manager settles the accounts for a house. Sewage, waste, chimney sweep, garden and snow clearing are either in the contract or they are not, and in the exempt range upkeep may be assigned differently too. Go through those lines one by one before signing.
The 1.90 euro per square metre in the statistics is the lowest figure in Austria, but it describes main-residence flats where a managing agent does the billing. A house has none. Drains, refuse, chimney sweep, garden and snow clearing are either in the contract or they land on you.
Statistics Austria publishes no separate house figure. For all main-residence rentals in the province together it is 5.80 euro per square metre net and 7.70 gross. At 130 square metres that would be roughly 754 euro net and 1,001 gross, but that is an extrapolation from the provincial average and not a surveyed house figure.
Usually not. Houses with one or two dwellings are fully exempt from the Tenancy Act (§ 1 para 2 no 5 MRG). The rent is freely agreed, a fixed term needs no minimum length, and notice follows the civil code and the contract. A house with three or more dwellings is different, there the Act applies at least in part.
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.
Because people here buy rather than rent. The microcensus counts 32,000 main-residence rentals in the whole province, fewer than anywhere else in Austria. Add the purchase price: a house costs 2,184 euro per square metre at the median of the districts, from 2,816 in Rust down to 1,587 in Oberpullendorf. Where a house costs that little, it is rarely let.
