Employee Accommodation in Germany – Furnished Housing for Your Team
A new project. A different work location. An employee arriving in Germany. Finding the right place to stay is an important part of planning a successful assignment.
Discover furnished apartments for business stays through urbanbnb. As a family-run accommodation agency established in 1996, we combine online booking with personal assistance when you need it.
A New Assignment. A New City. But Where Will Your Employee Stay?
The contract is signed. The project schedule is ready. The employee is preparing to travel. Yet one essential detail remains: accommodation.
For HR teams and project managers, arranging a place to live can mean additional coordination, especially when the work location is unfamiliar or the assignment lasts several months.
For the employee, the challenge is more personal. After work, they need somewhere to settle in, prepare meals and maintain a manageable daily routine.
Furnished temporary housing provides an alternative to organising a long-term rental or relying on hotel accommodation throughout the assignment.
What matters: The accommodation should match the location, assignment length, number of occupants and agreed budget. These details are worth checking before booking.
The Right Employee Accommodation Starts with the Right Questions.
Whether you are organising housing for one specialist or several colleagues, the practical requirements should guide your decision. Here are six areas to consider.
Location and Commute
How far is the property from the workplace? Are public transport connections available? Is parking required?
Occupancy and Privacy
Is the apartment suitable for one employee or several colleagues? Check occupancy limits, sleeping arrangements and the available private space.
Length of Stay
urbanbnb focuses on stays starting from one month, often between one and six months. The permitted rental period depends on the individual listing.
Monthly Budget
Review the quoted rent, included utilities, additional charges and any security deposit. Check the total expected cost rather than relying on a headline price.
Facilities and Internet
A kitchen, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities or a suitable workspace may be important. Always confirm the actual facilities shown in the listing.
Possible Extensions
Project schedules may change. If an extension could be necessary, enquire early. Additional rental periods depend on availability and the host's agreement.

Business Travel Is Temporary. Housing Still Needs to Feel Practical.
Organising accommodation is not simply about finding an available bed. A suitable apartment can support daily routines throughout a longer assignment.
urbanbnb specialises in furnished temporary accommodation and combines online property information with personal contact.
Make an Informed Choice
Property descriptions, photographs and, where provided, videos help you evaluate accommodation remotely. urbanbnb does not routinely arrange in-person property viewings.

Meet the Urban Family – Your Family-Run Accommodation Agency Since 1996
urbanbnb is built around people and a family history that began in 1996. For us, furnished accommodation is about more than an online listing.
Nearly Three Decades of Experience. A Personal Approach.
Since 1996, our family business has focused on furnished accommodation for people who need somewhere to live for a limited period.
This includes employees on professional assignments, people moving to a new city and businesses organising temporary housing for their teams.
As an intermediary, we connect guests with accommodation offered by individual hosts. We do not generally rent the properties ourselves or act as the landlord for every booking.
We believe in clear information, a fair booking process, no service fee for guests and personal assistance when questions arise.

Different Assignments. Different Housing Needs.
Not every employee moving to Germany has the same requirements. A consultant working on a project may need a different arrangement from someone relocating for a new permanent role.
For project assignments, the focus is usually on the work location, rental period and everyday practicality.
For international professionals moving to a new location, additional questions about settling in may arise. Learn more about relocation and temporary housing as a separate topic.
The purpose of this page is to help companies find appropriate employee accommodation, rather than cover every aspect of relocation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Employee Accommodation in Germany
When arranging accommodation for employees, HR teams often need to clarify contracts, invoices, payments and other practical details.
Can a company book accommodation on behalf of an employee?
Accommodation can be organised for an employee's business stay. Whether the company can act as the booking party or contractual tenant depends on the individual accommodation offer and its booking terms. Please clarify this before confirming the reservation.
Who is the contractual party for the rental?
urbanbnb acts as an accommodation intermediary and is not automatically the landlord. The contractual parties are specified in the respective rental or booking documents. Check whether the company or the employee is named as the tenant.
Can an invoice be issued in the company's name?
This depends on the accommodation host, the contractual arrangement and the applicable invoicing conditions. If your accounts department requires specific company details, clarify these before booking. urbanbnb does not automatically issue the rental invoice.
Can several employees stay in the same apartment?
This may be possible if the listing permits the required number of occupants. Alternatively, separate apartments may be appropriate. The actual availability and permitted occupancy must be checked individually.
What happens if a work assignment is extended?
An extension is not automatically guaranteed. It depends on availability, the existing rental terms and agreement with the relevant contractual party. Enquire early if you expect the project dates to change.
How are rent and security deposits handled?
Rent is generally paid directly to the accommodation host under the agreed conditions. Any security deposit, payment schedule or additional charges should be confirmed in the individual listing and contractual documents.
Can an employee register their address in Germany at the accommodation?
Address registration depends on the individual situation, property arrangements and applicable legal requirements. Before booking, ask whether the host can provide the documentation required for registration. The relevant authorities determine the legal requirements.
Who should we contact after the booking?
For questions about the intermediary service and booking process, you can contact urbanbnb. For property-specific matters such as check-in, keys, facilities or issues during the stay, the respective accommodation host is generally the appropriate contact.
