PROPOSE YOUR LOCATION
Renting out my location — what does that entail?
We define locations as any space that can be used for film or photo shoots, be they residential, commercial or any other place indoors or outdoors.
Property managers (“hosts” or also “location providers”) are natural or legal persons who can rent out a location for the purpose of photographic or film work. If you would like to offer your location to our members, use this form to register.
As considerable fees are paid for the use of your location, it makes rental an attractive option. However, you should also be aware that film or photo shoots can involve considerable effort and restrictions on your part.
I’d like to rent out my location!
Please do not send detailed photos, but pictures that give a good overview of the location. Please send pictures from inside and outside in landscape format. For a first impression 10 – 20 pictures are sufficient. You can upload your pictures as JPG, PDF, PNG. The maximum size per file is 10 MB.
Complete the form in full and submit it. An email will be generated from your entries and uploads and sent to all BVL location scouts. Those members who are interested in your location will then contact you. The BVL itself does not maintain a location database.
Before you offer your location, we recommend that you read our Fact sheet for property managers (PDF, in German) for detailed information.
What happens next?

A professional approach makes all the difference.
Regardless of whether a location scout or a media production company has contacted you, you should always enter into a property rental agreement. BVL provides you with both a sample property contract in German (as a PDF or as a Word document) and a reference guide (PDF) for this purpose (in German only), which explains the key points you should consider when negotiating a property contract.
If your property is booked through a location scout, you will have a constant contact person before, during and after the production for all matters related to the production.
