Floor plan 4-room rental apartment - Rentable?

Yes, really. You can't expect every tenant to be as equipped as you with a single-family house. Landlords and housing construction have many requirements, you simply have to work that out yourself. Regarding the target group issue: it's not easy: if you build for a family over 100sqm, they pay rent that they question again and build themselves. I was once single, and I really didn't feel like having a loud family. Well, I think you'll rather have a problem with implementing accessibility in a cost-effective way. Get an architect who advises you regarding housing construction.

I only know very few people who have a dryer. and I believe none of those with dryers rent their place

Although both are true for me, there is nevertheless no connection: I am a tenant for various reasons – also because in my preferred area there are many rental buildings and very few free building plots; I air-dry laundry out of the conviction that it is not necessary to rush a process that also takes place on its own by machine; I do not perceive a connection between the two facts.

I would give up the idea of two equally sized apartments each. A 4-room apartment for families with 110 m2 (including a storage room of about 6 m2 with washing machine connection) plus a barrier-free 2-room apartment with around 60 m2 for a young couple/single on the ground floor approximately.

The whole thing again in the basement.

And upstairs then a 2-room apartment for a couple/single with 65 m2 plus a 3-room apartment with 85 m2. Or a 4-room apartment with 110 m2 plus possibly a 1-room apartment with 35 to 40 m2. But never forget the storage/laundry room; the more people that could live in the apartment, the larger it should be.

You could check with the municipality whether an external staircase attached to the building cube would be approvable; the distances to the neighbors would be given with 30 meters of plot width.

My landlord started in 2008 to completely renovate and convert the rental house from 1913, in which I now live. From originally 6 identical apartments, there are now 5 very different apartments. The house stands on a plot of about 1100 sqm with a mediocre hillside location, approx. 2.5m on 28 m plot width EG: 1x66sqm 3-room apartment, 1x44sqm small 2-room apartment OG: 1x55sqm 3-room apartment, 1x55sqm 2-room apartment DG with half attic: 1x135sqm 4-room apartment Basement with washing machine place for the 3 smaller apartments plus drying room as well as basement rooms for all, bicycle cellar = 355 sqm living space plus approx. 150 sqm basement (also in the extension)

In 2009 the first tenants moved into the first finished apartment ... in all apartments still live the first tenants, except in the 44sqm apartment. But even there only the second tenant party lives.

There are 7 parking spaces on the property plus 2 more well usable ones on the street, 2 tenants still have their own garden corner on the property. Then there is a shared laundry area and everyone has a proper basement space.

Age of tenants 29 to 75 years.

During the construction phase there were constant inquiries for the large apartment upstairs. One could also have made a large apartment each on the EG and OG. However, all apartments were already rented when the conversion began, due to special interested parties. The apartments were then also re-planned accordingly.

Aren't dryers standard by now? I don't know anyone who doesn't have a dryer. Just interesting for me to know. Keep writing to me.

I don't have one either, I prefer to dry the laundry outside on the line. That has often worked even now in winter. I'm with , why use electricity for something that happens on its own? But I do have a place and a connection for a dryer, so in case I ever feel like it...

to force a process that also takes place on its own to hurry mechanically

firstly that and secondly I don’t like how the clothes feel after the dryer. somehow I don’t like it, or rather we don’t. sure I would be happier not having to hang up my laundry (for practical and aesthetic reasons), but it’s not worth it for me (the discomfort, electricity costs, acquisition costs)
