Tenancy

Minimum rental period: How long do I have to stay at least?
If you have a rental contract with us, the minimum rental period is one semester (6 months).
What is the period of notice?
The notice period is 3 months to the end of the semester.
Can I also terminate my tenancy agreement during the semester?
Only in the case of de-registration is it possible to terminate the contract at the earliest possible date, provided we have a new tenant available. Otherwise, the contractual notice period applies.
Move-in: I do not move into my room within the arrival times. What should I do?
You can pick up the room keys from the house management and then move in whenever you have time. Moving in is not dependent on the handover.
