What is a Mietkaution when I rent my first place in Germany?
A Mietkaution is a security deposit a landlord may hold under your lease (Mietvertrag) and tenancy rules. Amounts and how it is held (often a separate account) follow published civil-law limits. Get the amount and account details in writing. This is not legal advice.
