Renting an Apartment in Tübingen: What to Know

Tübingen has one of the highest student ratios in Germany, with 28,000 students among just 90,000 residents. Combined with limited buildable land in the Neckar valley, this makes the rental market surprisingly tight for a mid-sized city — noticeably more so than its size would suggest.
