Before you sign
- Treat any asking price as an opening position, not a market rate.
- Check the registry entry for charges that could end the tenancy.
- Verify the floor area independently; here it is worth real money.
- Agree the review mechanism and its ceiling before anything is signed.

9,62 €/m² to 14,71 €/m² is the middle half; asking prices in a market this tight routinely sit above the whole band.
