Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about subletting with Sublly.
General
Sublly is a marketplace for short-term sublets in Germany (Zwischenmiete). It connects people who need temporary housing with tenants who have a spare room or apartment to sublet while they are away. Listings, trust tools, and messaging happen on Sublly, while rent and deposits are arranged directly between both sides.
Sublly is for anyone in a temporary housing situation: students on semester exchange, professionals on short-term work assignments, expats arriving in a new city, or people between apartments. On the hosting side, it's for tenants who want to offset their rent while travelling or away.
The platform covers four rental types: Zwischenmiete (interim rent while the main tenant is away), Untermiete (longer-term sublet), Kurzzeitmiete (short-term rental for professionals), and Übernachtung (overnight stays). Each listing clearly indicates which type applies.
Sublly currently serves major German cities including Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Leipzig, and more. New cities are added regularly as the platform grows.
