Explanations on the limitation of the duration of residence and the application procedure for establishing a continuation tenancy agreement
All tenancy agreements for places in our student residences are issued for a limited period. The duration of residence in a student hall of residence is always limited and does not depend on the individual duration of study. Through the rotation principle, we want to offer as many students as possible the chance of a state-subsidized place to live.
Different duration of residence regulations apply to the different types of housing:
The following regulation currently applies to residents of single apartments and comfort apartments: First-time tenants who are first-year students (Bachelor/Staatsexamen) can receive a rental contract for 6 semesters. Continuation tenancies for a maximum of 2 subsequent semesters are only possible if the demand situation is assessed by the Studierendenwerk in such a way that a sufficient number of places can be expected for new students at the beginning of the semester.
Current regulations for residents of single rooms (with shared sanitary facilities), double apartments, group and family apartments:
First-time tenants who are first-year students (Bachelor/Staatsexamen) can also receive a tenancy agreement for 6 semesters here. Continuation tenancies for a maximum of 4 semesters, in exceptional cases 6 semesters, are possible.
Special regulations apply to families with children and students with physical disabilities.
Of course, all other requirements must also be met for the establishment of a continued tenancy, depending on the respective personal situation and the further course of studies.
Residents who, for example, have severely or repeatedly disturbed the harmonious coexistence in the student hall of residence or have persistently violated their tenancy obligations cannot expect a continuation of the tenancy agreement.
Special regulations apply to residents who have been admitted to a student residence via a special admission program or procedure outside the regular application procedure (e.g. special reservation program for students from the Erasmus, Socrates program of the EU).
Application procedure for the establishment of continuation tenancy agreements:
Application forms for single applicants or for residents of double apartments and family apartments can be obtained from WohnService or downloaded here.
Please note the application deadline: The application must be submitted to the responsible housing service no later than 4 months before the end of the contract!
Please fill in the application form legibly (block letters), completely and sign it.
Please note that rental contracts are usually issued until the end of the semester.
If your application is approved in full or in part, you will receive a contract offer from us. If your application cannot be granted, you will be informed by us in writing as soon as possible.
