Monthly and Long-Term Furnished Apartments in Frankfurt for Contractor Teams
Aktualisiert: vor 5 Tagen
Contractor teams on a multi-month job in Frankfurt can rent a whole furnished apartment by the month, with a private kitchen and a private bathroom, from 18 euro per bed per night and billed straight to the company. For an assignment that runs for weeks or months, that is usually cheaper and more workable than a hotel, because the crew cooks its own meals, does laundry on site and stays together under one roof. MONTEUR BASE has provided this kind of accommodation across the Rhein-Main region since July 2024, with more than 200 companies, over 120 regular clients and more than 55.000 overnight stays booked, 84 percent of them directly. This guide answers the questions crews and office managers really ask once a Frankfurt project is set to last, not just pass through.
Stand: 8 November 2026. All figures below are the ones we can document, and the tax section is general information, not tax advice.

Where can contractor teams find monthly furnished apartments in Frankfurt?
For a long job the practical answer is a whole furnished apartment rather than a hotel room or a single rented room. With MONTEUR BASE in Frankfurt, teams rent complete apartments across the Rhein-Main region, each with its own kitchen and bathroom, placed within easy reach of the city building sites. You send the location of the site, usually by message, and you get back the nearest free apartment with an approximate drive time. The region matters more than the exact postcode: central Frankfurt is dense and expensive, so most long stays sit in the surrounding towns with a short commute in. You can see how the apartments are equipped on our apartments page.
How much does a long-term furnished apartment in Frankfurt cost?
Prices start at 18 euro per bed per night, and for a longer booking the nightly rate is usually lower than for just a few nights. The final price depends on three things: how many people share the apartment, how long the team stays and what is free at the time. There are no per person hotel rates stacked on top, because you book the apartment and the beds in it. Every booking comes with a proper company invoice, which keeps the accounting for a long assignment simple. The layout and equipment of the furnished apartments are the same whether the stay lasts a week or several months.
What is the minimum stay, and how do weekly and monthly bookings work?
Stays run from three nights upwards, and weekly and monthly bookings are the normal case for project work. There is no separate monthly contract to sign: the same apartment is held for the length of the assignment, and the rate reflects the longer stay. Teams on energy retrofits, fit-out, plant installation or facade work often book in month long blocks and extend when the schedule moves, which it usually does. Bookings start from two people, so a small advance party can begin while the rest of the crew joins the same apartment or the one next door.
Monthly apartment or hotel for a long assignment: which is cheaper?
For anything longer than a few nights, a furnished apartment almost always comes out cheaper and calmer than a hotel. The table below sets the two side by side for a team on a multi-week job. The real saving over a long project is not just the nightly rate, it is the self catering, the laundry and having the whole crew in one place. For shorter trips the same logic is laid out in our guide on short-term apartments for teams in Frankfurt, and the full hotel comparison sits in this cost breakdown.
Furnished apartment (MONTEUR BASE) | Hotel |
From 18 euro per bed per night | often 60 to 100 euro per room |
Private, fully equipped kitchen for self catering | usually no kitchen, meals eaten out |
Whole apartment from two people, private bathroom | single or double rooms, shared corridors |
Lower nightly rate on longer stays | rate rarely drops for a long booking |
One company invoice for the whole team | invoice to the company |
Can a company book and expense long-term worker accommodation in Germany?
Yes, companies routinely book and pay for worker accommodation and treat it as a business cost. When employees work away from their regular workplace on a temporary assignment, the accommodation is generally handled as part of travel costs, which is why a clean company invoice matters. Where an employee keeps a second household for the job, German income tax law caps the deductible cost of a domestic second home at 1.000 euro per month under Paragraph 9 of the Einkommensteuergesetz. The rules differ between a temporary assignment and a genuine second household, so the exact treatment depends on the case. This is general information and does not replace tax advice.
A simple rule for a long project: choose the accommodation by the location of the site, not the other way round. A short daily commute protects the one thing a long assignment runs on, which is rested people who arrive on time.
What standards apply to employer-provided accommodation?
Germany sets minimum rules for accommodation that an employer provides for work, written down in the technical rule ASR A4.4 Unterkuenfte. It requires, among other things, that rooms can be heated to at least 21 degrees during use, that men and women are housed separately where both are present, and that shift workers get separate sleeping areas so a night shift is not woken by a day shift. A whole furnished apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom sits well above the barrack style minimum these rules were written for, which is part of why teams settle better on a long job.
Which areas around Frankfurt suit long-term stays, and how is the commute?
The sensible choice is a town with a fast link to where the work is, not the most central address. Frankfurt sits at the centre of a dense network: the regional transport association RMV runs S-Bahn, regional trains and buses across the whole Rhein-Main area, and the motorway ring of the A3, A5 and A66, managed by the Autobahn GmbH, connects the industrial and commercial zones around the city. For a crew with a van, a base near a motorway junction often beats a city flat, because the drive to a changing set of sites stays short. MONTEUR BASE picks the furnished rooms and apartments in Frankfurt by the site, with the aim of keeping the commute under 30 minutes to the commercial areas.
Which apartment fits a team of six to ten on a multi-month project?
Larger crews are kept together rather than split up. Each apartment takes a group from two people, and a bigger team is placed in neighbouring apartments so the crew stays in one building or street instead of across the city. Across the portfolio there are up to 150 beds depending on availability, which is enough to hold a full column on a long job and to flex as people rotate on and off the project. Everyone has a real bed, a shared but properly equipped kitchen and a private bathroom, which is what keeps a ten week assignment from wearing people down.
How far in advance should you book for a winter or multi-month project?
Book as early as the project is confirmed, and earlier for the winter season. Heating, sanitary and energy retrofit work runs hard through the heating period, and multi-month fit-out and plant projects that start now reach into spring 2027, so the better placed apartments near the busy commercial zones fill up. Holding one apartment for a long stay is easier when the request comes in weeks ahead, not the night before the crew arrives. If the dates shift, an existing booking is simpler to extend than a new one is to find. You can send the site location and the dates through the contact page and get an answer within 30 minutes between 9 and 21.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions teams ask most about long stays in Frankfurt.
Can we rent a furnished apartment in Frankfurt by the month?
Yes. Weekly and monthly stays are the normal case, booked from three nights upwards and from two people. The same apartment is held for the length of the assignment and the nightly rate usually drops for a longer stay. If the schedule moves, an existing booking is simpler to extend than a new one is to find, so it pays to book as soon as the project dates are set.
How much does long-term contractor accommodation in Frankfurt cost?
From 18 euro per bed per night, with the exact price set by the number of people, the length of stay and what is free at the time. You book the apartment and the beds in it, not a per person hotel rate, and longer bookings usually carry a lower nightly rate. Every stay comes with one company invoice for the whole team, which keeps a long project easy to account for.
Is a monthly apartment cheaper than a hotel for a long project?
For anything beyond a few nights it usually is. Besides the lower nightly rate, the team self caters in a private kitchen, does its own laundry and stays together in one apartment instead of separate hotel rooms. Over a multi-week job those savings add up, and the crew tends to be better rested, which shows up on site. The side by side comparison is in the table above.
Can the company deduct or expense the accommodation?
Companies routinely book and pay for worker housing and treat it as a business cost, which is why every booking comes with a proper invoice. For a temporary assignment the cost is generally part of travel costs, while a genuine second household is capped at 1.000 euro per month for a domestic home under Paragraph 9 of the Einkommensteuergesetz. The exact treatment depends on the case, so this is general information and not tax advice.
How many people fit in one apartment for a long stay?
From two people per apartment, with larger teams placed in neighbouring apartments so the crew stays together. Across the portfolio there are up to 150 beds depending on availability, enough to hold a full column on a long job and to flex as people rotate on and off. Everyone gets a real bed, a shared equipped kitchen and a private bathroom.
How far in advance should we book for a multi-month winter project?
As early as the project is confirmed, and earlier through the winter heating season when retrofit and sanitary work peaks. Multi-month jobs starting now run into spring 2027, so the better placed apartments near the busy commercial zones fill up. An early request makes it easier to hold one apartment for the whole stay, and to extend it later if the dates shift.
Does every apartment have its own kitchen and bathroom?
Yes. Every apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen and its own bathroom, which is the main reason long stays work better than a hotel. The team can cook proper meals, store food for a full crew and keep normal routines over weeks or months. You can see the layout and equipment on the apartments page.
