vermieten

Vermieten is a German verb meaning to rent out or lease something to another person in exchange for rent. It is used by a property owner or manager to make a dwelling or other object available to a tenant. The person who lets the property is the Vermieter (landlord), and the person who rents it is the Mieter (tenant). The noun Vermietung refers to the act of letting.

Conjugation and usage: ich vermiete, du vermietest, er vermietet, wir vermieten, ihr vermietet, sie vermieten. The perfect tense is hat vermietet. Vermieten is typically used with a direct object such as eine Wohnung, ein Haus oder ein Gewerbeobjekt and is often connected to a Mietvertrag (lease) that governs the terms of the rental.

Context and contractual aspects: In German-speaking countries, Vermieten is governed by tenancy law. A Mietvertrag outlines the rent (Mietzins), the duration (Mietdauer), and other terms. A Kaution (security deposit) is commonly required, usually up to drei Monatsmieten. The lease also covers rights and duties for both sides, such as maintaining the property, handling repairs, and paying rent and operating costs (Nebenkosten).

The related verb mieten denotes the act of renting by the tenant from the landlord, whereas vermieten describes the landlord’s action of leasing out a property. Vermieten is a core term in real estate, rental markets, and property management.
