vermieteten

Vermieteten is an attributive form of the past participle of the German verb vermieten (to rent out) and is used as an adjective to describe property that has been leased to tenants. In usage, it signals occupancy and income-generating status of a property rather than its ownership.

As an attributive adjective, vermieteten is declined according to gender, number, and case. Examples include die vermieteten Wohnungen (nominative plural), die vermietete Wohnung (nominative feminine singular), das vermietete Objekt (nominative neuter singular), and die vermieteten Objekte (nominative plural). The form mirrors standard German adjective endings after a definite determiner.

In the real estate and rental markets, vermieteten objects are contrasted with unvermieteten or leerstehenden properties. Listings, inventories and market analyses may refer to “vermieteten Objekte” to indicate that a property is already leased and producing rental income, as opposed to vacant units that may require tenancy and capital reinvestment.

Ambiguity can arise because vermieteten also resembles a finite verb form (Präteritum, third-person plural) of vermieten. Context typically clarifies whether the word functions as an adjective describing already leased properties or as a verb form in a narrative past tense.
