Hey,
So i ll be most likely going to Cologne to study since October++.However i know a lot of people there that tell me i wont be able to find a flat to rent with my 2 other friends without using some sort of company to find one for us and take like 2k euro just for that.They told me no one would give an apartament to 3 18 year olds foreigners.I just want to double check it with someone that actually lives there their whole life ( or most of it ? :D ) Is there really no way to get a decent flat without spending 10k eu just for companies, rents and kaution( well dunno english word )? Damn i dont want to be forced to live in some shitty place given to me by studentenwerk. All info is welcome !

from my experience (not in Germany but still image it would be similar):
yes, nobody wants to rent a flat to 3 young foreigners
if they do they require you to deposit a big amont of money (like 3 times the monthly rate)
studying abroad is expensive, if you want to cut expenses, you'll have to cut on quality too

Yeah it definitly will be quite hard to find a flat there without some proof of a steady income(dont mention poker!). So yeah some of these companys is probably the only way to go. |

yeah it is pretty common that there is no other renting a flat over those scamming companies...
but it is not because you are 3 young guys it is just that they know they will find someone who wants that flat...
there are just too many people for too less appartments...
just my 2 cents
and i live in dusseldorf so it should be the same in cologne |

yeah the situation in dusseldorf bonn & cologne should be quite the same
well thought so just wanted to double check
@ n1ck kaution = unpredicted expenses which costs the same as one 1 rent so u basically have to pay 2 rents for 1 month @ 1st month u get your house |

i know what you mean by "kaution"
its basically a deposit which you get back after your departure
i had to pay 3 months worth of rent for this in italy |
