The build quality of apartments and houses in Bavaria is very high. In general, houses
are found in the suburbs, apartments up to 4 bedrooms in the city. If you are looking
for an unfurnished apartment, be aware, that whilst you may find a kitchen with built-in cupboards light fittings or other fixtures, for example wardrobes, are often not included.

Furnished accommodation will normally provide everything you need. You may only
want to bring your own bedding and towels.

Houses and apartments are normally offered by agents (immobilien). Finding a property through an agent requires payment of an agency fee. The total monthly rent of a house
or apartment is split into net rent and additional costs (utilities). These additional costs
or utility charges normally include heating, water, garbage, building-insurance, property
tax. Additional independent costs will be telephone, electricity, and sometimes TV and radio fees. Accommodation is often offered 'warm' which means that heating and hot water are included in the rent.

When you leave Bavaria or wish to change your accommodation you are usually expected to return your house or apartment in pristine condition which can involve a lengthy period of cleaning or even redecoration!
