Renting a house in Eisenstadt
A house to rent is the exception in northern Burgenland, and we say so here rather than at the end. What this page answers regardless: where in the market it occurs at all, how the location measures there, and what may be zoned next door.

Precisely because the choice is small, the single address decides everything. No brochure answers these three questions.
Burgenland publishes the zoning of every municipality spelled out, not as a code. We query it per address. That matters more here than elsewhere: the most common building zoning in the province is the village area with 8,567 areas, ahead of the residential zone with 7,975. In a village area your neighbour may run a farm, with animals and harvest hours.
Check the zoning →For the three Eisenstadt districts and each of the 45 municipalities in the market we measure noise, greenery, heat, sun and real public-transport times. Not from the town sign, but per cell. In a market reaching from the eastern motorway to the Rosalia hills, that is the difference between an address and a municipality.
Open the neighbourhood atlas →Statistics Austria publishes a separate building-land price for the Burgenland municipalities. In northern Burgenland that explains more than any district average: between a municipality on Lake Neusiedl and one in the Rosalia hills lie worlds, and the district average sees neither.
See land prices →Eisenstadt has 16,396 inhabitants and is Austria’s smallest provincial capital. The market we show has 113,431. From Eisenstadt station Oslip is 6 minutes away by public transport, Großhöflein 10, Wulkaprodersdorf 12, Mattersburg 24 and Neusiedl am See 26. Anyone sticking to the city limits drops 45 municipalities, some of them quicker to reach than the city’s own edge.
The most common building zoning in Burgenland is not the residential area but the village area: 8,567 areas against 7,975, counted in the province’s plan. There housing and farming are explicitly envisaged side by side. Your neighbour may keep animals, drive machinery and work at harvest time whenever the harvest demands it. That is not a defect, it is the purpose of the zoning, and it appears in no listing. We show it for every address.
Vienna is why many people search here at all, and the number belongs on the table. From Eisenstadt station to Vienna Central Station is a measured 65 minutes, to Stephansplatz 73. That is not casual daily commuting. Wiener Neustadt is 37 minutes away, and from the south of the market Wiener Neustadt is actually closer than Eisenstadt: 13 minutes from Neudörfl, 19 from Bad Sauerbrunn, 20 from Wiesen. Anyone commuting to Vienna daily should know that before signing.
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.
Because in Burgenland people build to own. A house to rent arises here almost only when something is inherited or someone moves away temporarily. That is not a quirk of our stock but of the market; the portals look no different.
There is no official figure for it, and we do not invent one. Statistics Austria measures rents per flat, not per house, and not below province level at all. Only the purchase values per district are documented, and those are on the page about buying a house.
With a rented house it pays doubly, because every single one counts. Oslip and Schützen am Gebirge are 6 minutes from Eisenstadt station by public transport, Großhöflein 10, Wulkaprodersdorf 12, Mattersburg 24, Neusiedl am See 26. The market covers 46 municipalities with 113,431 inhabitants.
As a rule, no. Since 1 July 2023 the first-instructing-party principle applies: whoever instructs the agent pays them, and that is almost always the landlord.
