Hello i need to rent an apartment in Germany.
None of my contacts has owns an apartment there. This means i need to go through an real estate agent.
The monthly cost of it are 4k which i want to pay upfront in cash for the whole period.
Due to new aml laws the estate agent might have to report me for requesting a 100% cash payment. A cash payment by itself is nothing illegal in Germany.
Is there any risk approaching an agent directly about my needs? What could be a solution for this situation?
