Houses to rent in Vienna

Rent a house in Vienna

A house to rent is the scarcest thing the Vienna market offers. They turn up at the edges, in Liesing, Floridsdorf, Donaustadt and the wine villages of Döbling, and usually as terraced houses. For every address we show how loud it measures, how hot the summer gets there and how much sun arrives.

These houses are currently for rent in Wien and the surrounding area.

To be honest: 19 listings are not a choice. That is the segment as much as it is us. Houses to rent are rare in Vienna and they go quickly, so a saved search beats a weekly look. What this page does answer is below.

Listings come directly from estate agents and private owners, through interfaces and our own editor. We do not copy portals, and we take no commission.

What a square metre of rent costs

The figure is for flats and gives only a rough sense for a house. A rented house is priced by plot, condition and heating, and in the exempt range of the Tenancy Act there is no ceiling on it.

What we show and portals do not

With a house the neighbourhood shapes the years you spend there, and no brochure writes anything verifiable about it. These four sources are official and available for every address.

How loud it actually is

The official environmental noise map, address by address. Not „quiet location“ from the listing text, but the measured zone.

How hot the summer gets

Heat islands and urban climate per neighbourhood, from the City of Vienna map and the Copernicus model. Two districts can differ by several degrees.

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.

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.

Vienna’s house market mostly lies outside the city

Within the city houses are the exception and priced accordingly. Widening the search to the surrounding area multiplies the supply. What decides then is not the name of the place but the distance to the station, and we calculate that for every municipality around Vienna.

Common questions

Where in Vienna do houses come up for rent at all?

In the outer districts. Liesing with the old centre of Mauer, Floridsdorf around Stammersdorf, Donaustadt, plus Hietzing, Penzing and the wine villages of Döbling. Most are terraced houses; detached houses to rent are rare even there.

What does a house cost to rent in Vienna?

There is no honest single figure. Houses fall outside the Tenancy Act, so there is no reference rent and no per-district index. The only usable guide is the current supply, and that is at the top of this page.

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.

Is it worth searching outside the city?

Almost always. Supply is several times larger and prices are lower. The cost is commuting time, and within one municipality that often differs by half an hour depending on how far it is to the station. Our municipality ranking shows both.

Search for what matters to you

Set your priorities once and the search orders by them: quiet location, cool summer, short commute, budget. And because rented houses go fast, a saved search pays off here in particular. No account, no cost.
