Rent
107 micro-apartments for one person, about 24 m², fully furnished, €450 all-inclusive rent. Service charges and electricity are in the rent as a flat rate, internet is not.
Source: House page
Contract
The HOWOGE states for its flats in general a deposit of at most 3 months' basic rent (Kaltmiete). It told the Senate in 2023 that it signs no fixed-term contracts for its student flats and asks for proof of study or training only when you move in.
Sources: Questions and answers, Senate answer 2023
How to apply
Only students with a valid certificate of enrolment can rent here. The Senate answered in October 2024: for student places the state-owned companies check each applicant's income. Applicants usually need not show an income of three times the rent. Guarantees count. If your credit rating is not enough, the HOWOGE's tenancy conditions say that a person who can pay should join the contract. The HOWOGE publishes free student flats in its flat search, and you send your request online at the listing. Because several hundred people often apply, an automated lottery chooses who is invited to a viewing. If several then meet the conditions, chance decides.

felixx student usually rents to pupils, apprentices, students, interns and doctoral students, and checks the requirements case by case for each house. You apply online with the form on the page of the house, with a copy of your ID card or passport and proof such as a certificate of enrolment or a training contract, in some cases also a current certificate of registration. An application is not a booking: felixx student only gets in touch when a suitable apartment is free. Incomplete applications are not considered.

Students have priority while they have no degree yet, and so do international students on exchange or study programmes. If no students are available, language students, apprentices, interns and other people in training can move in too. You cannot live here if you mainly work and earn more than 2.5 times the maximum BAföG need. You need a current certificate of study or your admission letter, and in training a certificate from your place of training. You reserve through the reservation portal and upload your documents with Immomio. You pay the deposit and the first rent before the contract, and viewings are usually not possible. You can cancel free of charge until your contract starts.

The Gewobag keeps no waiting lists, and its listings are online only. You apply to a listing through the online portal.
