Outrage over horrendous rental prices: Apartment in Ehingen is causing a stir!
In Ehingen, Baden-Württemberg, a recently published apartment advertisement is causing excitement and outrage on the Internet. The discussion unfolded in a Facebook group with over 28,000 members after an offer for a 56 square meter apartment was posted for a rent of 1,010 euros - this is made up of 800 euros for cold rent and 210 euros for additional costs and 50 euros for the kitchen. The offer is particularly explosive, as rental prices in Germany are increasing and the housing market is becoming increasingly tense, as Merkur reports.
The feedback in the group is mixed: While some users harshly criticize the high prices and make comparisons to other cities, there are also humorous comments about the exorbitant costs and additional fees for the kitchen. At the same time, some readers suggest more realistic rental prices, such as a warm rent of 700 euros. Despite the heated discussion, it appears that there is a certain interest in the apartment, but whether this is serious remains questionable. The authenticity of the ad cannot yet be conclusively confirmed.

Rising rental prices due to demand
In Germany, the rental price structure is largely determined by supply and demand. In high-demand metropolitan areas, demand often exceeds supply, leading to rising rents. Regional factors, international migration and migration within Germany are reinforcing this trend in popular cities. In addition, the economic development of the region, including the existing infrastructure and job opportunities, influences rental prices. As Engel & Völkers explains, political measures such as rent controls or rent caps can also have an influence on price developments.
Given the complex situation on the housing market, it is clear that both tenants and landlords have to have a good hand in finding fair rental prices. While the discussion about the appalling rental prices in Ehingen continues to rage, it remains to be hoped that realistic solutions and offers will also come to the table.
