  • Use the local student housing associations or cooperative organizations, if you have an affordable housing. You can also assume that your landlord will not dabble contract or your rent (which does not mean that you can not run into expensive high and high deposit).
  • If you are considering using a private landlord you must be 100% sure that there are tinkering with the contract. Is it a higher rent may be appropriate to get a professional to look at the contract. You should never pay your deposit in cash - it is a clear sign of fraud.

With pictures of the apartment on the occupation time can prove that the defects were already there when you moved in.
  • If you find errors in your apartment after you have moved in, so it is important that you make the landlord aware of it within 14 days.
  • Otherwise, we recommend that you use your common sense and lets read everything before you sign it. Do not expect that you get your deposit back, so do not pay a sky high deposit.
