Rent Out Worker Accommodation in Graz

Graz is Austria's second most important location for worker accommodation. The Styrian capital is the heart of the country's automotive cluster. Magna Steyr, AVL List, Siemens Mobility, Andritz and KNAPP together employ tens of thousands of skilled workers, and demand for temporary housing surges during production launches and major projects. Add to that construction work, renovations at the University Hospital and growing residential development in the outer districts. For landlords, this means consistent demand, low vacancy and predictable income throughout the year.

Rental prices for worker rooms in Graz range from 15 to 30 euros per person per night, depending on location and amenities. A double room in a well-connected district like Liebenau, Puntigam or Eggenberg generates several hundred euros per month per bed at solid occupancy. Monthly all-inclusive packages from 400 euros covering utilities and Wi-Fi are particularly popular with corporate clients because they simplify invoicing. Landlords offering entire apartments for teams can expect 800 to 1,200 euros per month.

Demand comes from the automotive cluster and well beyond. Magna Steyr regularly brings in external teams for production changeovers and new model launches. AVL List needs accommodation for test bench engineers and project staff. Andritz sends assembly crews for turbine and plant projects. Construction firms like Strabag, building services companies, electrical contractors and temporary employment agencies also search for rooms in Graz on a weekly basis. Landlords who list their worker room in Graz on zimmmer.at reach exactly this target group directly and without commission.

Districts close to industrial and commercial areas are in highest demand. Liebenau and Puntigam are right next to the major production sites and logistics centres in the south of Graz. Eggenberg is ideal for assignments near the University Hospital and the western commercial zones. Lend and Jakomini offer a central location with good public transport links to the main station. Gries often has lower rents while still being close to the action. Accommodation in Andritz, St. Peter or Wetzelsdorf is also regularly sought after, particularly by teams staying longer who prefer a quieter environment.

Graz is Austria's second most important market for worker accommodation. The automotive cluster around Magna and AVL, plus construction projects and the University Hospital, ensure consistent demand. With a good location and proper amenities, you can achieve high occupancy. Typical rates range from 15 to 30 euros per person per night.

Yes, a nightly accommodation levy applies to short-term rentals in Styria. It is calculated per night and per guest and must be paid by the landlord. Detailed information is available on the City of Graz website.

Do I need a trade licence to rent out in Graz?
That depends on the scope of your rental activity. Occasional private letting often does not require a trade licence. For regular, commercial letting, a licence may be necessary. If in doubt, we recommend consulting the Styrian Chamber of Commerce. A good overview can also be found in our Worker Rooms Guide.
