Houses to rent in Styria
Rented houses are a small market in Styria, and it lies almost entirely around Graz. What explains the price is the land price of the municipality, and legally a rented house sits outside the Tenancy Act: no reference rent, no statutory protection against termination. Here are the houses by district and what to know before signing.

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 €2,40 per m², giving €9,80 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.

A rented house around Graz comes with climate and travel time. Neither is in any listing.
Statistics Austria publishes a building-land price for 285 Styrian municipalities. Around Graz it explains why a house in Seiersberg costs differently from one in Gratkorn although both lie in the same district.

See the housing support →For Graz and its commuter belt we show the city’s climate zones and the official noise map, address by address. The Graz basin holds the heat in summer and the fog in winter, and slope locations are out of both.
See the Graz noise map →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.
Almost all Styrian rented houses lie in Graz-Umgebung. There the municipality decides, not the district: Seiersberg, Feldkirchen and Gössendorf on the southern edge have grown onto the city, Gratwein and Gratkorn in the north lie in the Mur valley with their own suburban rail. The land prices show the difference.
There is no reliable province-wide figure. Houses fall outside the Tenancy Act, there is no reference rent, and the spread between Graz-Umgebung and Upper Styria is too wide for an average. The purchase price paid in the district and the land price of the municipality are the better guides.
In Graz-Umgebung, by far. The list above shows it for today. Outside the commuter belt rented houses are rare; there people buy.
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.
The Styrian housing support depends on income and living space, not on the type of building. Whether a rented house qualifies depends on the lease and the usable area. Who qualifies for what we compute on our housing support page.
Set your priorities once and the search orders by them: short trips to Graz, quiet location, budget. And because rented houses go fast, a saved search pays off here in particular. No account, no cost.
