Tips
Tips for subletting by tenants of a Studierendenwerk residence (main tenant)
Have you already asked the Studierendenwerk Mannheim for permission to sublet? If so, please take a look at the tips for subletting in our student residences here. Please note that subletting must be authorised by the housing administration. Further information on the tenant’s obligations and regulations can be found in the General Tenancy Conditions.
- Subletting is only permitted to students at one of the following five universities within the Studierendenwerk’s area of responsibility: University of Mannheim, Mannheim University of Applied Sciences, Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University Mannheim (DHBW Mannheim), State University of Music and Performing Arts Mannheim, Popakademie Baden-Württemberg
- The rent agreed with us may not be exceeded (exception for unfurnished rooms and flats: an appropriate furnishing surcharge is permitted here).
- You remain the main tenant for the entire period and are liable for any damage caused. The rent will also continue to be debited from the main tenant’s account.
- Draw up a contract in which you record the key points for the interim tenant (name, description of the rental property, duration of the rental, rent plus surcharge, deposit, tips on the rules in the student residence, etc.).
- Please note that the Studierendenwerk cannot store any furniture/personal belongings in the room.
- The organisation of the key handover is to be arranged exclusively by the main tenant.
Tips for finding a room/apartment to sublet
- Pay attention to the subletting period.
- Is the room furnished or unfurnished? If furnished, is the furnishing surcharge reasonable?
- Subtenants are also obliged to register with the City of Mannheim with a landlord’s confirmation of residence. Please note that only the main tenant may complete and sign this landlord’s confirmation.
- We recommend that you agree a takeover of the room with the main tenant.
