How it works
Three stages, clearly separated.
MietSense is a structured information service in three sequential stages. Each stage stands on its own. You are at no point obligated to use the next.
- 01Stage 1
Quick Check
FreeApprox. 2 minutes
Four questions about your situation — a first overview of the regulations relevant to you in 2026.
What you receive
- A list of the regulations applicable to your situation
- Pointers to the underlying legal sources
- Notes on typical next steps
- No registration, no payment
The Quick Check organises the legal landscape in structured form. It does not assess whether your specific situation is lawful — that assessment is the role of the legal profession.
- 02Stage 2
Structured report
€2913-question form, report within minutes
A detailed form produces a comprehensive report — every regulation relevant to you, organised, with sources and rent-index values.
What the report contains
- Complete analysis of your inputs against Berlin's 2026 rental law
- Rent-index comparison for your borough including applicable factors
- Responsible borough authority with contact details and forms
- Notes on deadlines, registration, and notification duties
- PDF for download and by email
- Option to update the report within 14 days
The report is a structured information service. It contains no individual legal assessment and does not replace legal advice.
- 03Stage 3
Lawyer consultation
€8920-minute appointment, typically within 48 hours
If a legal assessment of your specific situation becomes necessary, we arrange one with a lawyer from our partner law firm specialised in Berlin tenancy law.
What the consultation covers
- 20 minutes direct exchange with a licensed lawyer
- Personal assessment of your specific situation
- Concrete options with their legal consequences
- On request: handover for further representation under the firm's fee schedule
The lawyer consultation is a service of our partner law firm. MietSense acts here exclusively as an intermediary; the mandate relationship is between you and the firm.
The line between information and advice
Under § 2 of Germany's Legal Services Act (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz, RDG), the legal assessment of an individual case is reserved exclusively to licensed lawyers. MietSense organises the applicable legal landscape — laws, rulings, borough regulations — structured by your situation. This organisation is an information service, not a legal service. Where the line runs, we make explicit in our reports and in the Quick Check.

The Quick Check is free and requires no registration.
