Many german cities compose so-called rent standards to make a decision making instrument
available to tenants, landlords, renting advisory boards and experts. The rent standards
are used in particular for the determination of the local comparative rent (i.e. net rent
as a function of household size, equipment, year of construction, etc.). For the composition
of the rent standards, a representative random sample is drawn from all relevant households,
and the interesting data are determined by interviewers by means of questionnaires. The
dataset contains the data of 1082 households interviewed for the munich rent standard 1994.
