About us
Clarity instead of opinions. Sources instead of claims.
MietSense was born from a simple observation: Berlin landlords have a harder time in 2026 than ever before understanding which legal rules actually apply to them — and the few available aids are either anonymous forums or expensive lawyer appointments. A structured, source-based information service sits in the gap.
What we do — and deliberately do not
MietSense analyses public legal sources — laws, BGH rulings, administrative regulations, rent indices, borough notices — structured by your specific situation. You receive an organised overview of the regulations relevant to you in 2026, each with its underlying source.
What MietSense does not do: a legal assessment of your individual case. That is the role of the legal profession and in Germany, under § 2 RDG, reserved exclusively to licensed lawyers. A transparent referral to a partner law firm specialised in Berlin tenancy law is part of our concept and currently in preparation.
Who is behind MietSense
MietSense is being built by Okan Sahiner in Berlin — founder and sole operator. He has worked for several years at the intersection of data analysis and publicly available legal sources, and started MietSense with the goal of making the legal landscape around Berlin's rental rules navigable — without crossing the line into legal advice.

Four principles of our work
- 01
Every statement is verifiable
We cite paragraphs, BGH case numbers, borough notices, or rent indices. You can check each point independently.
- 02
We make the line visible
Where a concrete legal assessment begins, our analysis ends. We mark this transition transparently and indicate when a lawyer consultation is appropriate.
- 03
Currency is duty, not promise
Our rule set is continuously adapted to changes in case law and regulation. Quarterly external review of the analytical logic by a specialised law firm is part of our quality concept.
- 04
Data minimisation by default
We collect only what we actually need for the analysis — no names, addresses, or contractual parties. Data is encrypted at rest and deleted after 12 months.
