If something is defective in your apartment, please inform us immediately in writing as part of your duty to cooperate. We will inform you about the further procedure and whether you can call in the janitor.
As a rule, you must register no later than one week after the move. If you miss the legal deadline, you may be fined or receive a warning. If you move within your city, you only have to re-register. If you move to another city within Germany, you must re-register your residence. In both cases, you will need your identity card or passport and a registration form at the Residents' Registration Office. A so-called processing fee is due for the registration/registration.

We try to make a final decision together with the owner within approx. 4 working days and inform you immediately whether you can rent the apartment.
