You are welcome to bring your own furniture. However, the existing furniture cannot be removed.

Are pets allowed?

In consideration of the entirety of the residents, the landlord's responsibility and in the interest of proper management of the house and the residents' flats, the keeping of animals is prohibited. This takes into account the close connection of the flats within the house and the common use of the rooms and areas provided for this purpose, as well as their facilities, and the different cultural and religious character of the residents of the house.

What do I do if something breaks in the flat?

Simply contact the responsible property manager, he or she will be happy to help you.

5. Visiting

What can I visit in the house?

Viewings are generally difficult for us, as all flats are rented out and we are dependent on the tenants here.

So we can't promise to show you a flat. But in any case, you can get an idea of our property itself.

Please contact the relevant property manager directly for a property viewing.

7. payment & costs

What is included in the rental price?

You have a fixed rental price and no additional costs. All additional costs such as water, electricity, heating, internet etc. are included in the rent. Please note that broadcasting fees are not included in the rent and must therefore be paid by the tenant.

What payment do I have to make before the start of the rental period?

We require the first month's rent and the deposit in our accounts at least 2 weeks before the start of the rental period.
You can find the bank details in your rental agreement.

When will I get my deposit back?

The handover / return of your apartment is usually carried out by the janitor with you. The condition of your apartment will be inspected and the handover recorded. If there are no complaints / defects, you will receive your deposit back in full. If something needs to be repaired in your apartment, the cost of the repair will be deducted from the deposit.

The payment / transfer is usually made within 6 weeks after the end of the tenancy to an account to be specified by the tenant (e.g. you or your parents) (see handover protocol). In the case of major repairs, repayment of the remaining amount may take longer. This depends, for example, on the availability of the tradesmen or the necessary materials.
