Long Holiday Rentals - Austria Information on costs, commissions and legal requirements. Coming to work or live in Austria. Need longer term accommodation near to Salzburg, Bad Ischl or Gmunden? Many of our owners apartments are available for longer Holiday lets. These can be from one month to six months. There is also the possibility to rent from 1-3 years, but this comes under a different system than holiday renting. Holiday renting does not give any long term guarantee of tenancy, it is simply a long term fixed contract as in booking a holiday, but the costs are cheaper, the longer term you take. Most apartments are in the Salzkammergut area, and within easy reach of Salzburg. We will though be adding other areas to these pages as we get owners willimg to rent their properties for longer holiday rentals. These will include Graz, Innsbruck and Vienna. Costs involved to rent. It is standard that you pay a deposit guarantee. This is normally 3 months rental, depending on length of letting. If it is a long holiday rental The deposit can be only one month rental to have as security. Some long Holiday rentals need to be paid in full up front, if only a few months rental period. So they are treated exactly like a holiday booking. It depends on the landlord. The deposit is an amount that is paid by the tenant to the landlord to cover any rent arrears and to cover losses in the case of damages in the existing building. The deposit can be in several forms and is passed to the landlord. Austria also has a standard long term rental of 3 years plus. These tend to be cheaper and this is the length of time that a landlord would be required to give to the tenant and to honour it as long as the tenant was paying the rent. The tenant must rent for a minimum of 12 months plus on top they must give 3 months notice to the Landlord when leaving. So, in effect a Tenant must pay for 15 months of rental under a 3 year plus agreement. Contract commissions to agents, start on the basis of 1 month rent per year or part of a year letting, as commission. It is down to the agent and many will charge less for finding you the right property and setting up the longer holiday rentals. For shorter periods it is less.
