Before tenancy
No, all our rents and services are calculated performance-based and are not negotiable.
In shared flats we organize the whole furniture in common rooms (kitchen, bathroom). Also the individual rooms are usually already equipped with furniture (bed, mattress, wardrobe, desk, chair, lamp). For this a furniture rent of 20,00 € is integrated in the total rent.
Usually flats will be handed over empty. Sometimes there can be exceptions, let’s talk about it in person.
In our shared flats, the internet is usually organized by the residents themselves. If necessary, please contact them and discuss the contract situation and cost sharing. In some apartments, the internet is also provided by us. In these cases, an Internet fee of €10.00 is included in the total rent.
Of course, our flats have an internet connection. However, the tenant is responsible for the supply by an internet provider.
In our shared flats the payment of the broadcasting fee, which is legally required for each apartment, is usually organized by the residents themselves. In some flats, the broadcasting fee is already included in the total rent. Please clarify this with us in the individual case.
If you want to rent a flat with us, you are in any case responsible for paying the broadcasting fee by yourself.
- Please have a look at our current offers
- Search for the suitable offer
- Use one of the offered contact options to apply
- Please wait 1-2 business days for our response
Of course, you can view our apartments at your leisure before making a decision. In personal contact with you, we will be happy to arrange a viewing appointment.
This can happen. If you want, you can still get in touch with us and make an inquiry. Usually from time to time there are always free rooms and flats available.
During tenancy
If you are responsible for the damage, you must repair the problem on your own or pay for the damage financially.
In case of other damages concerning the rental property, get in touch with us and give us all the details. Here, too, you as the tenant can be financially involved in the repair under certain conditions. The small repair regulation applies contractually.
You are contractually obligated to transfer your rent payment by the 3rd working day of the month. The same applies to any outstanding deposit installments. If you do not meet your payment obligations on time, additional reminder fees will be charged as a result of reminders.
Please take a look at this page. There you will find PDF files with all the important information about your tenancy.
A three month notice period applies by contract. By law, you are required to send us your notice of termination in writing and with a handwritten signature by mail or as a PDF by e-mail. The letter must be received by us by the 3rd working day of a month, so that this month is still counted towards the period. If your termination letter does not meet the legal requirements, it is legally invalid.
Usually not. By prior arrangement, we can agree on an earlier move-out date, as long as you provide a suitable next tenant and pay a one-time processing fee of € 50.00. Please note that your next tenant must meet certain requirements and we are not obliged to offer you this option or to accept your proposed next tenant.
Of course, you can also pay your rent until the end of the notice period, but already hand over the property to us before that.
Important: The written termination with three months notice is necessary in any case!
After tenancy
If everything is in order, you will usually get your full deposit back after a few months. The exact time depends on your individual case.
If damage or high additional ancillary or operating cost payments attributable to you are subsequently discovered, your deposit will – after consultation with you – be retained in part or in full in accordance with the amount of the damage or additional payment.
If you are still expecting mail at your former address, it is best to apply for a forwarding order (Nachsendeauftrag). On the day you move out or soon thereafter, we will remove your nameplates from the mailbox and doorbell.
