Rent to live & work

Living and working, properly agreed.

Space to Settle brokers apartments where part-commercial use is expressly permitted — clearly set out in the lease.

Berlin Altbau row — three tenement buildings, side by side

What part-commercial living means

  • Mostly living, partly working

    The apartment remains your home. You use part of the space professionally — as a home office, atelier, studio, or for consulting without significant client traffic.

  • Made for the self-employed

    Freelancers, founders, people with a side business — anyone who works from home and wants it properly agreed.

  • Clearly set out in the lease

    The professional use is written into the lease — you know where you stand from day one. We provide the templates.

  • Personal service

    Our Berlin team replies within one business hour on weekdays and guides you from inquiry to move-in.
