Successful search

Finding your new home is the first step to make a good start in Germany.

Start early: look for a flat as soon as possible after your admission at TH Rosenheim, at least 3 months before your start of studies. Time is key!
Check the location: TH Rosenheim has campuses in different cities: Rosenheim, Burghausen, Mühldorf am Inn and Traunstein.
Student residences: apply in any case, even if you look for other housing options. If you are offered a place in the student dorms: take it, even if you arrive after the start of the contract!
Search online. Search on housing portals regularly, sign up to newsletters. Use social media groups, and actively write to people who offer rooms.
Check your monthly budget and preferences. Check different prices and options to see what's covered with your monthly budget. There are different types of student accommodation, each with their ups and downs, you can learn about them here.
Read the prices and conditions right: on top of the basic rent ("KM" / "Kaltmiete"), there are usually additional expenses ("NK / "Nebenkosten") such as gas, water and electricity. Go here for more useful terminology and abbreviations.
Unless you book a room in the student residences, DO NOT transfer money in advance (for rent, security deposit etc). Scammers attract people with cheap private offers and demand the rent/deposit in advance. Visit apartments and meet the landlords in-person before signing contracts.
If time is short: Don't panic. Stay in a hotel or with a fellow student. Keep looking during the semester. Also look for short-term options for the first weeks or months (boarding houses, interim rent)!
Rental prices are not negotiable.

How to be a good tenant

Prepare a detailed portfolio for your application. You should prepare a personal introduction (e.g. short CV, photo of you, tenant self-disclosure (German/English), German language certificate, a proof of steady income (e.g. payslips, scholarship, credit report, parental guarantee letter, blocked account), and a copy of personal documents (e.g. passport, ID, visa, residence permit, student proof).
Get a personal liability insurance (learn more). Landlords prefer tenants who are insured against minor or major damage to their property. Compare offers here.
Pay your deposit and rent on time. After you signed the contract, make sure to always pay in time by setting up an automated transfer with your bank account.
Keep the apartment and communal areas clean. Respect the quiet hours at night and on weekends.
Waste disposal and recycling are mandatory. Follow the house rules and separate your waste accordingly. There are different garbage boxes in Germany. Use the drop-off stations for glass, packaging and paper. Take a look at the basics of waste separation, for practical details ask your landlord or house keeper.
