What's Inside the Checklist
Required Documents

Search Strategy
Where to look, when to apply, and the timing trick that gets viewings while everyone else is still scrolling listings.
Viewing Preparation
What to bring, what to ask, and the red flags landlords don't want you to spot.
Contract & Move-In
Mietvertrag clauses worth pushing back on, deposit rules in plain language, and the move-in mistake that costs people thousands.
