SYSTEM ONLINE SCANNING ~38 BERLIN SOURCES SCAN INTERVAL: EVERY FEW MIN STATUS: EARLY BETA

Aparterminator · Berlin

Berlin apartments,
the second they list.

// A Telegram bot that watches Berlin listings so you don't have to refresh tabs at 3 a.m.

It checks ~38 Berlin housing sources around the clock. The moment a flat matches your filters, it pings your Telegram — usually within minutes of the listing going live. In this city, being first to apply is most of the game.

// What it does

The short version

  • Watch ~38 sources, non-stop. Every source re-checked every few minutes, around the clock. Full breakdown just below.
  • Ping you the moment a match appears. A new listing that fits your filters hits your Telegram, usually within minutes of going live. Speed is the whole point — in Berlin the flat is gone in hours.
  • Filter to your reality. Per-user rules: max warm rent, minimum rooms, the Berlin Bezirke you want, and hard-exclude keywords — "WBS", "möbliert", or a specific area like "Wedding" even inside a district you picked.
  • Deduplicate ruthlessly. The same flat cross-posted on five sites reaches you once. One target, one alert.

// Coverage

It watches every kind of Berlin landlord

Most alert tools only cover the big portals. This one goes wider — especially the cooperatives that are the hardest to keep up with by hand.

  • State housing companies. The six landeseigene Gesellschaften — HOWOGE, degewo, Gewobag, WBM, Gesobau, Stadt und Land — plus Berlinovo.
  • Housing cooperatives (Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften). The hardest to track and often the best value — many of them, each with its own site, all watched in one place.
  • Big private landlords. Vonovia, Deutsche Wohnen, Adler, Covivio, Grand City and more.
  • Small private & classifieds. Private listings on Kleinanzeigen and ohne-makler.net, filtered down to genuine long-term flats — that's how I found mine, in five weeks. ;)

// How it works

Three steps, then you go back to your life

Setup takes about two minutes. After that it runs and you don't.

  1. Set your filters. Fill in the form below: max warm rent, minimum rooms, which of the 12 Bezirke you'll accept, and anything to exclude.
  2. Tap the link, press Start. You'll get a Telegram link. Tapping Start connects your filters to your chat and confirms you're on — instantly, no human in the loop.
  3. Get pinged. Apply fast. When something matches, your Telegram lights up. You do the running; it does the watching.

// The limits

What it can't do (yet, or ever)

Better to say this up front. The internet has enough overpromising.

⚠ Out of scope — not bugs
  • It can't make Berlin cheap. It finds listings fast; it can't bend the rental market. Flats cost what they cost — it just tells you they exist.
  • It can't fix the housing crisis. It's a notification tool — not a policy, not a landlord, not a tenant union. Systemic problems are above its pay grade.
  • It won't apply for you. It doesn't write or send your application. You still do the human part.
  • It only knows Berlin. No other cities yet. Sorry, Leipzig.
