Frequently asked questions about housing applications

How long do I have to wait for a place to live?

The waiting time varies depending on the residential complex. It depends on demand, the number of terminations and the decisions of other applicants. If available, you will receive up to three housing offers. If you do not accept or respond to these, your application will be deleted. You can reapply at any time. However, the previous waiting period will not be taken into account.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes, the deposit must be transferred no later than one week before the start of the tenancy. It amounts to between €300 and €400, depending on the residential complex. One exception is the residential complex Bismarckallee 47 b – d. Here, the deposit is 1.5 times the basic rent. The deposits do not bear interest.

Can I receive my deposit in cash when I move out?

No, the deposit is generally refunded by bank transfer after the property management company has reported the move-out and the responsible department of the housing complex has checked whether there are any outstanding payments or claims for compensation from the tenancy.

Which place am I on the waiting list for?

As placements are constantly changing, we are unable to provide exact details. Instead, we check when your application has been received and give a general estimate of waiting times based on recent notices and inquiries.

All online applications submitted by you will be regarded as completed when you rent.

Can I get a floor plan of the accomodation?

We will be happy to send you a suitable floor plan with an apartment offer, especially for unfurnished apartments.

When will I receive the keys?

Please book an appointment with the responsible property manager to hand over the keys. As a rule, you can receive the keys from the 1st working day of the month (except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays). You will receive detailed information and the contact details of the property management company together with your tenancy agreement. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
