Investment and the Haar model

What is the Haar model (Haarer Modell)?

Under the Haar model you buy an apartment as an investment and enter into a contract with the municipality of Haar near Munich: the municipality nominates the tenant. These rules apply to the investment apartments at Annelies Quartier:

  • The municipality’s nomination right runs for 25 years from the date the apartment is ready for occupancy.
  • The municipality nominates the tenant; extra payments such as tenant loans, advance rent or closing fees are excluded.
  • Rent may be raised by at most 10 % every 3 years.
  • If the municipality nominates no tenant within 3 months of completion or of a vacancy notice, the apartment may be let freely; after that the conditions apply again.
  • The apartments are let, not owner-occupied; termination for personal use is excluded.
What is the difference between a penthouse and an investment apartment at Annelies Quartier in Haar?

The penthouses at Annelies Quartier are unrestricted: live in them or let to tenants of your choice. The Haar-model apartments are pure investments: the municipality of Haar nominates the tenant, rent may rise by up to 10 % every three years, and the nomination right runs 25 years from completion.

By how much can the rent of a Haar-model apartment increase?

The rent of a Haar-model apartment may be raised by at most 10 % every 3 years. If the tenant exceeds the income limits or acquires property, the rent may be raised to the local comparative rent. The municipality of Haar reviews tenants’ income every 3 years.
