Student rooms are provided in the shared flats (in German: "Wohngemeinschaft", "WG", "WG-Zimmer für Studenten"). WG-Rooms have various sizes (~11-20 m2). Each shared flat has 2, 3 or 4 private student rooms. Each room has its own door lock.
Smaller WG-rooms are rented only to 1 tenant. Some bigger rooms can be offered for 1 person (1 bigger bed 140x200) or for 2 persons (2 smaller beds 90x200).
All WGs / student rooms are fully furnished
Bed linen, blankets, pillows, towels unfortunately can not be provided due to hygiene reasons.
Each shared flat has a shared kitchen fully equipped with all necessary equipment:
Tableware and utensils can not be provided due to hygiene reasons.
Each shared flat has a shared bathroom with:
The amount of rent per room (or person) depends on the room size, number of people in the room (1 or 2), location and included utilities. Please see "available rooms" for details.
The standard rent billing period is 1 full month.
Rent is paid upfront, until the 3rd working day of each month (e.g. until 03. of March for March).
The tenant is provided with an official rental contract for student housing in German language.
To prepare the rental contract, we require the following documents (PDF):
If a potential tenant is still abroad, it is not a problem. In this case, the rental contract can be prepared and signed electronically by the landlord and the tenant (secured PDF version).
A hardcopy of the contract on paper will be provided by the landlord and signed upon arrival of the tenant. Paper contract with original ink signatures will be required for the city registration.
The document from the landlord for the city registration (Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung) will be provided to the tenant upon arrival and room handover.
New tenants should do a city registration within 14 days after arrival / move-in.
The first rental period for all rooms is fixed 12 months.
Rentals for shorter duration are not possible, sorry. Please do not send requests for shorter stays.
After the first 12-month rental period ends, the new rental contract can be signed for the next 12 months by the mutual agreement.
For next/renewed rental is applied a standard cancellation notice period of 3 full months.
We look forward to building a long-term community of tenants, staying with us for the whole period of their studies in Germany (2,5 - 3,5 years). Earlier cancellations are not appreciated as they require a lot of unnecessary work for the tenant and landlord.
If, earlier cancellation is unavoidable and the living tenant needs to move out before the agreed end date, the tenant will be obliged:
- to find a next tenant ("Nachmieter") and
- pay an admin fee of 300 EUR (as every unplanned change of tenant requires a minimum of 1 full day of unnecessary admin work for landlord).
Earlier cancellation can be confirmed by the landlord only if all 3 prerequisites are fulfilled:
- departing tenant has found himself a new tenant (Nachmieter)
- new tenant is approved by the landlord and a new contract is signed
- there will be no time gap between existing and new rentals.
It works in most of the cases, but cannot be guaranteed.
The deposit is a fixed amount and serves as a security for the conditions of the room and the furniture, as well as for any other outstanding amounts, incl. rent.
Deposit for single room (1 person in the room)
Deposit for double room (2 persons in the room)
The amounts of deposit are not negotiable, sorry.
The 1st deposit instalment must be paid within 3 days after signing the contract and before move-in. The first instalment is considered as a reservation fee until move-in date and is not refundable in case of no-show of the tenant or withdrawal of the tenant from the contract.
Room conditions on move-in and move-out are documented in the room handover protocol. If, on move-out date, the room (or furniture) needs renovation, reasonable amounts (usually covering a work of Hausmeister + cost of materials or new items) will be deducted from the deposit.
German TV and Radio tax (18,36 EUR per month per flat) is not included in the rent. Tenants need to pay it directly to ARD. Please check the official ARD website for details: www.rundfunkbeitrag.de. ARD is a fee for the whole flat, so tenants share this cost (18,36 EUR / 2,3,4 rooms), meaning 3-6 EUR per room per month.
ARD fee cannot be paid or "taken over" by a landlord, as it's paid by each person according to the registration address.
Each flat has established internet connection. The cost for Internet is not included in rent and is paid by tenants directly to the internet providers.
The Internet contract for each flat is usually held by one tenant (who stays the longest period of time) and other tenants share the access and costs.
The average contract is 25-40 EUR per month for the whole flat. The exact amount depends on the Internet speed, available providers and additional features. So, the usual cost of Internet per room is ca. 8-12 EUR per month.
If the tenant needs his "own" Internet line, the tenant can order an Internet contract additionally upon arrival. Please keep in mind that internet contract in Germany is binding for 24 months and usually delivered and connected in 1–3 weeks.
Viewing appointment can be done online (video-call) or in presence (on-site in person, preferred).
Please acknowledge that viewing dates and times strongly depend on the availability of the current tenant. As landlord, I do my best to respect the timing requirements of both sides, but some flexibility with viewings usually gives a better chance to view (and rent) the room.
Please indicate your availability (dates and times) for the viewings in the application form below. After collecting requests, I usually organize appointments in a batch for 5–6 viewings with 15-min-slots.
Please respect the time and effort of other people.
If we agreed the date and time for viewing, please come (or join the video-call) on time.
If, for any reason, you cannot come or join online - please inform in advance, latest 2–3 hours before appointment. In this case, will find a time for the next appointment.
"No show" without any preliminary notification (even with any good reason), will automatically remove your application from any further consideration.
