Consultation regarding temporary living in Berlin and Hamburg

Do you have questions regarding the furnishing of your flat, the chances of letting your flat or in general regarding the subject of furnished letting for temporary periods of time in Hamburg or Berlin? We are there for you. We will advise you regarding the planning and the course of action needed to market your furnished flat as effectively as possible.

Letting your furnished flat

As soon as all the particulars have been cleared up, we will be offering your flat to our clients as well as online on our homepage, on are associations site and on all the biggest real estate portals in the internet (immobililienscout 24 for example). A viewing appointment will be arranged after we have cleared up the details with the potential tenant. The decision is often made very quickly at this appointment, because ultimately most of the interested parties only want to see if the apartment actually meets their expectations. To ensure that everything continues to run smoothly, you received post from us at the very start – with plenty of information and a rental contract, which you can now use.

Informing City-Wohnen

We will continue to work with, until you inform us that it has been let! A further interested party is excited about your apartment – the latecomer will be disappointed, should you have already let it. To avoid unnecessary annoyance for all involved, it is very important that you let us know as soon as you have reached an agreement with an interested party.

Letting means: completion of a rental contract

As soon as the tenant is certain, it is recommended that the tenancy is noted in written form. When dealing with a temporary rental contract it is up to you as the landlord to give a reason for the fixed time period, otherwise the rental agreement between you and your tenant will be considered unlimited. You can use our legally approved rental contract, which we send to you in the initial letter, for this. Sort out certain conditions too, for example: how and until when the rent and deposit have to be paid? Incidentally: Don’t forget, that the maximum deposit is laid down by law. More than three basic rents are not allowed.

The handing over of the furnished flat

Arrange an appointment for the handing over of the keys together with the furnished flat. You can help your tenant find his feet quickly by explaining certain particulars “the hoover is in the…” in the process. Along with a hand over report, in which the meter reading as well as the condition of the apartment, for example, should be noted, a furnished flat should always be handed over with an inventory list, countersigned by landlord and tenant. The list is a bit longer for a furnished flat; however it protects you and your tenant against any misunderstandings that may arise later.

Worried about damages to the furniture?

Mishaps can occur, even with the most careful tenant. If a piece of furniture is badly damaged, it could be that the renovation or replacement is expensive, and may not be covered under certain insurance policies. As an extra service for you and your tenant we offer our special personal liability insurance, which is free for the first year. You will receive the insurance form in the initial post from us. Inform your tenant at the handing over of the flat, that they should inform you as soon as an event of damage or loss has occurred: The corresponding insurance should be informed as soon as possible.

During the period of tenancy

You are not in Berlin or Hamburg, as the case may be, during the rental period or are hard to reach in general? Let your tenant know regardless, under which telephone number or email address you can be contacted under to some degree. It is always helpful, if you have a caretaker, or a colleague, who know the flat, or ask a neighbour, to act as a contact person. A pipe bursts in the flat above yours? A freeze in autumn and the heating doesn’t come on? Your tenant would certainly be happy, if you were to leave them a telephone number for such an emergency.

Handing back of a temporary furnished flat

Once again, arrange an appointment and take the protocol from the handing over of the apartment, as well as the inventory list with you. You can be sure not to overlook or forget anything, if you go through everything point by point: furniture, state of the flat, reading of the meters, the number of keys to be handed back and so on.
You can calmly bring the handing back of the flat to an end. The deposit can be returned as soon as all costs extra bills regarding the letting have been sorted out (telephone bill, if it was still under your name) and the difference has been cleared.
