Salzburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. So, it is not surprising that there are always new people coming to live here.
How do you find an apartment in Salzburg?
You will find adverts for apartments and houses in all daily newspapers, free newspapers and on the internet. For students, there is a private housing exchange of the ÖH Salzburg on the internet.

In social media also, such as on Facebook, there are many groups in which good housing offers are often posted. For example, in the group
“Wohnungsbörse Salzburg – Angebote und Nachfrage”
How do you find a subsidised apartment?
You can apply to the various housing co-operatives for an apartment. In order to be accepted for an apartment, a few conditions must be met. For example, you must be over 18 years old and you must not exceed a certain income level.

Heating and electricity
Most of the apartments in Salzburg are heated with district heating or natural gas.
Heating and electricity must be registered with a provider. An overview of some electricity providers can be found here:

Living together
When many people live in residential complexes, there is a need for rules for successful cohabitation. The Integration Office of the City of Salzburg has therefore developed a folder with simple images, which helps in “Miteinander Wohnen“. The contents of the folder are translated into seven languages.
You have an argument with your neighbours. What can you do?
Problems with the neighbours can greatly reduce quality of life and in the worst case end up in court. So that it does not get that far, there is the offer from the City of Salzburg “When neighbours annoy“. You can register via the ‘Team Vielfalt’:
