Frequently Asked Questions

Viewings are possible on request and by prior appointment only – we meet in front of the building at Richard-Wagner-Str. 63. However, a viewing is not required: all 30 apartments are furnished exactly as shown in the photos, and the entire rental process is digital. We do not offer online or video viewings. Please note: the apartment is not reserved for you until the viewing date.

No, reservations until a preferred date are not possible. Your booking only becomes binding once both parties have digitally signed the rental contract – until then, first come, first served.

Apartments are rented on a per-semester basis. Booking for the winter semester opens in mid-August, for the summer semester in mid-February. If apartments remain available, you can also book during the current semester.

Booking takes place exclusively via the booking system on our homepage. Simply follow the individual steps on the homepage and you will be guided automatically through the booking process.

1. Choose an apartment, enter your contact details and upload your documents – all without obligation.
2. We review and validate your information.
3. The rental contract is generated automatically and sent to you; you have 3 days to review and digitally sign it (otherwise the reservation expires automatically – no further action needed).
4. The contract only becomes legally binding once both parties have signed digitally.
5. You then receive a payment link for the semester rent.

You can pay using all available payment methods accepted by our payment partner Stripe. These currently include credit card (VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club), Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Alipay and many more. Payment takes place after booking (conclusion of the rental contract) in a single transaction for the entire semester.

After the contract is concluded, you receive a payment link and can conveniently pay the rent for the entire semester online. The handover appointment is arranged after payment is received.

As a rule, our apartments are rented for one semester at a time.

No. The rental contract runs bindingly until the end of the semester. Moving out early does not end the contract – rent and deposit are not refunded proportionally. The deposit is settled as usual after the contract ends.

The deposit is €890 and is refunded after the end of the contract, provided there are no outstanding claims (unpaid rent, damage, excessive soiling). At move-out, the landlord prepares a handover report. Due to administrative processes, the refund may take 4–6 months.

The rental contract is always concluded with one person. The second person is not part of the contract but lives in the apartment as a flatmate. Both persons receive a landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) for registration at the Citizens' Office.

Move-in follows the official start of the semester: the move-in date for the summer semester is 1 April and for the winter semester 1 October of each year.

No appointment needed: after signing the contract and paying, you receive an e-mail with instructions for the access app, your PIN code for the gate and keybox, and the Wi-Fi credentials. Your smartphone becomes your key – you can arrive around the clock.

Bicycle parking is available in the courtyard. There are no rentable car parking spaces, but resident parking is possible in the surrounding area.

No, pets are not permitted in the apartments.

Yes. Each apartment is a separate dwelling, so you are liable for the fee (currently €18.36/month). BAföG recipients can apply for an exemption.
