Usage tips
Compound word
This word is made up of 'die Miete' (rent) and 'der Preis' (price). The 's' in the middle is a linking s, which connects the two words. So the meaning is literally the 'price of the rent'.
EXAMPLE
Wir müssen den neuen Mietpreis im Vertrag festhalten.
We need to record the new rental price in the contract.
Typical verbs
In connection with rental prices, verbs that describe a change are often used. Typical phrases are 'der Mietpreis steigt/sinkt' (the rental price rises/falls) or 'der Vermieter erhöht/senkt den Mietpreis' (the landlord raises/lowers the rental price).
EXAMPLE
Die Mietpreise in Großstädten steigen kontinuierlich.
Rental prices in big cities are rising continuously.
Use with 'pro'
To make rental prices comparable, the specification 'pro Quadratmeter' (per square meter) is often used. This information usually follows directly after the amount of money.
EXAMPLE
Der durchschnittliche Mietpreis liegt hier bei 15 Euro pro Quadratmeter.
The average rental price here is 15 euros per square meter.

Mietpreis vs Miete
rent
'die Miete' and 'der Mietpreis' both refer to the amount of money you pay for a rented apartment, house, or other property. 'Miete' is the normal everyday word, especially when talking about the regular payment. 'Mietpreis' sounds more precise and a bit more matter-of-fact. It is often used when comparing prices, talking about an offer, or stating the amount in an advertisement. The words can easily be confused because they often refer to the same amount. In many everyday sentences, 'Miete' is more natural; 'Mietpreis' fits especially well when comparing or evaluating an offer.
Mietpreis
In der Anzeige steht ein Mietpreis von 850 Euro warm.
