This amount corresponds to the rent guaranty and the first rent which has to be paid in advance before renting a room with Apartis. You also have the possibility to contact other addresses

The main apartments we rent are sharing apartments with 2 to 5 rooms. Each tenant receives an individual lease for his room. The tenant has to share the kitchen, bathroom and WC with his housemates. We have 104x 1-room flats and 8x 1.5-room flats for a total of 830 rooms.

Apartis‘ principle is „one room – one tenant“ which means that in a 2-rooms flat there can live at max. 2 persons for example. A 3-rooms flat cannot be rented by 2 persons.

The tenants have to decide if they want to smoke in their rooms (with the risk to pay the costs for a redecoration at the end of their stay). In the common rooms (kitchen, entry, bathroom) the non-smoker principle is valid if the tenant didn’t agree on other rules.In the Sonnenberg smoking is forbidden.

Apartis rents his rooms independent of criterias like culture, language, sex or religion. The composition of tenants in the flat is mainly by coincidence.

Some apartments reserved for exchange students are furnished as well as the rooms in the house Sonnenberg and Foyer des Jeunes. All other rooms of Apartis are rent without furniture. Each tenant is free to decorate his room to his taste. The living kitchens are equipped with stove, fridge and kitchen cupboards but not furnished. The tenants have to agree about the possible furniture. Kitchen utensils have to be brought by each tenant himself.
