Checklist Accommodation
1. What do I have to consider when signing a lease?
- Costs: rent, deposit, additional costs. Some landlords/landladies charge a
one-time administration fee.
- Period of notice: usually three months. Please check with your
landlord/landlady on his/her terms with regard to period of notice.
2. Is a verbal rental agreement legally binding?
- Yes, it is. However, a written agreement is more secure. Should problems
arise during the tenancy both parties benefit if they can refer to a written
document.
3. What do I have to consider when moving out?
- Is the room/apartment in a good condition (clean, no damages)?
- Did I inform my landlord/landlady in due time about the move?
- Did the landlord/landlady and I agree on a time to hand over the
room/apartment?
- Did I return all keys (building, room/apartment, basement and mailbox)?
- Does the landlord have the correct account information to return the
deposit?
4. Who can I turn to in case of questions and problems concerning the lease?
- You may talk to the landlord, landlady directly or
- Contact the Accommodation Service of the International Office:
