Home maintenance
As a tenant, you must take care of the apartment carefully. You are responsible if the apartment is damaged as a result of negligence. The apartment with its equipment must be kept clean and, for example, floor drains and ventilation valves must be cleaned regularly.
The landlord collects compensation in accordance with the resident billing price list for the costs of negligent violation of the tenant’s apartment, poor care, smoking inside or the otherwise untidy condition of the apartment. With our new leases, all of our properties are non-smoking indoors.
Plates, mirrors or lamps may be placed on the walls in a reasonable manner, but for example, mounting the TV directly on the wall requires permission from the property manager and the tenant must also be prepared for renovation costs after living. Other small or large holes or alterations must also be authorized and prepared for the possibility of repair costs at a later date. For example, attaching Ikea Lack shelves are not insignificant.
It is advisable to dry the laundry in the drying room of the house so that moisture does not cause damage to your apartment.
Occasionally, insects or pests can interfere with housing. If you notice any of these, contact your property manager or service center. Pests can be avoided by regular cleaning, basic hygiene, and regular removal of waste from the apartment.
