New rent index in Lübeck: This is how much tenants will pay in 2025!
Lübeck is about to take a significant step forward in terms of housing transparency. From then onOctober 27, 2025The Rent Index Reform Act comes into force, which obliges the Hanseatic city to create a current rent index. This measure is particularly important in order to provide both landlords and tenants with clear guidelines and information. According to luebeck.de, both sides are obliged to provide information, which illustrates the importance of the survey.
The FUB IGES Living and Real Estate Institute has the task of creating the new rent index. From the end of October, corresponding survey documents will be sent to households. Participation in this survey is crucial so that the rental structure in Lübeck can be represented representatively. A high level of participation in the questionnaires and interviews is therefore urgently sought.
Rental prices in focus
What exactly are the rental prices in Lübeck? The current rent index for the year2025shows an average rental price of11.78 EUR/m². This is an interesting development when you look at rental prices for different apartment sizes. For example, costs:
- 1-Zimmer-Wohnung: 12,04 EUR/m²
- 2-Zimmer-Wohnung: 11,72 EUR/m²
- 50 m²: 11,37 EUR/m²
- 70 m²: 11,57 EUR/m²
Over the years, the rental price for one-room apartments has increased by...10.62 EUR/m²in 202212.04 EUR/m²increase in 2025. This increase reflects not only the general market development, but also the social changes that Lübeck is experiencing as a university location. The increasing need for housing is no secret, the population has been increasing since2010on about217,000increased, which further increases the pressure on the housing market.

Legal certainty and transparency
A well-structured rent index not only offers an overview of the local comparative rents, but has also established itself as a legally secure instrument to ensure more transparency on the housing market. The creation of the Lübeck rent index is supported by a rent index working group that includes a large number of organizations, including the South-East District Working Group and the German Tenants' Association. This creates a common basis for the interests of tenants and landlords.
The various aspects of rental price development are influenced by several factors. Economic conditions, supply and demand as well as political conditions play a significant role in rental prices in Germany. These connections are reinforced not least by the influx into urbanized regions, as engelvoelkers.com reports. It is all the more important that the new rent index not only documents the current rental prices, but also takes the different building age classes and residential locations into account.
The Lübeck rent index will not only provide a current overview of the rental price situation, but will also create the basis for future decisions on the housing market. A strong argument for anyone looking for adequate living space!
