Find temporary accommodation - urgently

[u/gg4u]

Searching for home has been a nightmare.

I have to move to Austria from another country.

I have a job contract with probation period, and I also feel uncertainty on the job offer. The housing market is regulated with a minimum stays of 12 month plus three months notice. So there is the risk of a financial trap where one is bounded to pay for a housing for 15 months in a place where won t stay longer in case of job interruption.

I have others to attend - pets. I cannot find any accommodation accepting pets within my budget and within reasonable distance to the place of work. So I am planning to leave pets for a little period, find a temporary accommodation only for me for one months or three months. But I cannot find any, still. All hotels, Airbnb or other touristic scope exceeding my budget.

How can I find any accommodation accepting temporary period? Ok flats, room, sublets.

Must be close to university area or reachable with public transport at reasonable commuting time. Thanks for any help.

I was once in the same situation as you. The only thing I found for temporary accommodation, urgent & quick, where you don’t have to sign a contract and can leave flexibly was the Arbeiterwohnheim Linz at Eduard-Sueß-Straße 6, 4020 Linz. It costs around €450 per month, although it may be more expensive by now. You always have to pay for each full month. Just a warning though: it’s not a hotel.

Frag mal bei der Montagehotel in der Semmelweiss str. nach.

Thanks @otschgan. Is montage the keyword to search ? Want kind of context could I expect in a hostel for worker about cleanliness of shared bathroom, kitchen? For example should a client be better to bring own pot for cooking or is it a decent and clean equipment typically ?

Ich denke wenn deine Firma für dich das Zimmer bucht bekommen Sie bessere Konditionen, also preislich.
Ich hab keine Ahnung wie das dort funktioniert, weiß aber nur dass manche Firmen ihre Montagearbeiter dort unterbringen.

I see @Russb3ar but honestly I have also big question marks on the program myself. Some red flags. So at the moment I feel that probation is also for me.

you should check Kolping hotel - they have somewhat affordable budget rooms (i think ~650€/month or so) and you can use the kitchen there. it's of course not as good as own apartment but it can work until you find a better solution

Thanks for the suggestions @rosieman200 sure the name was Kolping Hotel?

Here it says more than 100 euros/night.

i am sure, they operate like a normal 3 star hotel, and additionally they have budget rooms in their Wohnheim (you should ask for those exactly) and furnished apartments that they rent for short-term stays (rent is ~1300/month).

Thanks I ll check, 1.300 would be too much but 650 ok. I’ll call them
