Houses to rent in Tyrol

Rent a house in Tyrol

Per square metre Tyrol is the most expensive province in Austria: 9.60 euro net, more than anywhere else and a quarter above the national average. A whole house to rent is especially scarce here, because land is scarce and because part of the stock is tied up as holiday accommodation. What a municipality permits helps decide what reaches the market at all.

Currently listed

These houses are currently for rent in Tirol.

We currently hold no house to rent in Tyrol. Our providers are so far mostly in eastern Austria, and houses to rent are the scarcest segment across the country. 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.

What is actually paid here

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.

  • € 9,60/m²Existing tenancies, Tirol
  • € 7,70/m²Existing tenancies, Austria
  • € 9,70/m²New contract, Austria

Service charges add €2,50 per m², giving €12,00 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 we show and the portals do not

In Tyrol the municipality has a say in who may live somewhere and who is only on holiday. That is officially recorded, and we show it.

Whether a holiday home is permitted here

Tyrol caps holiday homes at 8 per cent of a municipality’s dwellings, and many approve no new ones at all. For tenants that means: a flat registered as a holiday home is not available to the housing market. What applies and where is on our own page.

What the plot is zoned for

Tyrol publishes the zoning of every municipality in plain words, with the paragraph and the additions that matter. For a rental it tells you what may appear next door: residential, mixed and tourism areas are three different neighbourhoods.

What the location in Innsbruck is really like

For every Innsbruck district and surrounding municipality we measure noise, greenery, heat, sunlight and real transit travel times, per 250-metre cell. In a valley where the winter sun stays behind the mountain, that is no side issue.

What matters when renting a house

Tenancy law often does not apply to a house

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.

Heating is the second rent

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.

Running costs and upkeep are yours

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.

A house zoned as a holiday home is not a home

Tyrol caps holiday homes at 8 per cent of a municipality’s dwellings, and many approve no new ones at all. Moving into a house zoned that way as your main residence puts both you and the landlord in the wrong. Before signing, ask to be shown that the property may be used as a main residence.

Frequently asked questions

What does a house to rent cost in Tyrol?

Statistics Austria publishes no separate house figure. For all main-residence rentals in the province together it is 9.60 euro per square metre net and 12.00 gross. At 130 square metres that would be roughly 1,248 euro net and 1,560 gross, but that is an extrapolation from the provincial average and not a surveyed house figure.

Does a house give me the same tenant protection as a flat?

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.

Are these the prices I would pay today?

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.

Why are there so few houses to rent in Tyrol?

Because land is scarce and expensive, and because a house earns more as holiday accommodation than as a permanent letting. A house costs 4,674 euro per square metre at the median of the districts, 9,055 in Kitzbühel and 2,631 in Lienz: a factor of 3.4 between the dearest and the cheapest district. Where a square metre costs 9,055 euro, nothing is let to permanent tenants.
