Accommodation
If you want to search for accommodation privately, you can consult the following websites:
- www.immobilienscout24.de
- www.zwischenmiete.de
- www.mitwohnzentrale.de (shared accommodation)
- www.wg-gesucht.de
It is worth reading the advertisements in the local newspaper and checking the notice boards at the university for offers. You can also post your own advertisement on the websites mentioned above, for example, or in local newspapers and on notice boards. Furthermore, you can enlist the help of an agency to find accommodation. Please note that from 1 June 2015 the agent’s commission must be paid by apartment seekers only if they engaged the agent themselves. Otherwise, the services of the agent have to be paid by the landlord. A list of estate agents at your place of residence can be found in the Gelbe Seiten (Yellow Pages) (enter 'Immobilienmakler' and the name of the town).
