House rule

Disturbing noises, slamming doors, noisy running up the stairs and activities that cause the house to shake or annoy the roommates through the resulting noise and impair the peace and quiet of the home must be avoided.

General rest times are from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and all day on Sundays and public holidays.

It is not permitted to store bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles; bicycles must be carried on the stairs and hallways and not ridden.

Strollers, ambulances and walkers must always be stored in designated common areas. If dedicated common rooms are not available, strollers, ambulances and walkers must be set up in the entrance area of the house in such a way that their intended purpose is not unreasonably restricted. However, the tenant is liable for any personal injury or damage to property that may arise; he also bears the risk arising from parking.

For fire safety reasons, escape routes may not be blocked; parking strollers, ambulances and walkers on stairs is not permitted.

Doormats should not be placed in the hallway, but behind the apartment door.

Adequate ventilation and correct heating - both of which are particularly important in winter - are prerequisites for a pleasant indoor climate. Proper ventilation, i.e. opening the window wide several times a day for a short time - ten to fifteen minutes - prevents an excessive increase in humidity and thus the formation of mold on the outside walls. Please note the instructions for correct heating and ventilation on our homepage.

Blankets, carpets, etc. must not be thrown out of the window. Beds should be laid out in front of the window for ventilation. They must not be hung out of the window.

Small animals as pets must be kept in a species-appropriate manner and in such a way that they do not cause any nuisance. Roommates must not be disturbed by keeping animals. Contamination and pollution caused by the animals must be removed and disposed of immediately by their owners. Feeding wild animals is prohibited for hygienic reasons, as leftover food attracts rats and vermin.

The installation of washing machines and dishwashers may only be carried out by a specialist. An Aquastop must always be installed. Built-in devices must also be installed electrically by a specialist. The operating instructions must be followed carefully.

The installation of circulating air hoods, but not extractor hoods, is permitted in the kitchens. It is forbidden to connect these to the ventilation systems.

Loggias and balconies, winter gardens and the existing full thermal insulation of the facade may neither be drilled into nor pasted on. Windows must not be drilled into. No changes may be made to the color design by painting or wallpapering. It is not possible to install flower boxes on glazed loggias. Attaching slats, roller blinds or other curtains and sticking on the loggia glazing are not permitted. Curtains may only be attached to the device (curtain strip) that is already integrated into the glazing construction. The external visual appearance of the frameless glazing must not be changed.

Grilling with electric grills is generally possible to the usual extent, although the interests of the co-tenants must be taken into account. For fire safety reasons, it is not permitted to use gas or charcoal grills.

All keys must be returned to the landlord when moving out. No additional keys may be reproduced without written permission. If the landlord does not receive all the keys back when he moves out, he reserves the right to replace all locks that can be opened with these keys at the expense of the tenant moving out.

House and cellar doors must be kept closed at all times.

The elevator regulations must be adhered to. Elevators must be used properly and not overloaded. If the elevator is suitable for transporting furniture, the tenant must inform the caretaker before the planned transport.

Garbage, ashes, rags, cat litter, feminine hygiene products, paint and food scraps, etc. do not belong in the sink or toilet. The drains must be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages. In most cases, the causes of blockages have to be identified subsequently and are charged with the costs of removing these blockages and their consequences.

Any rubbish that arises should be placed in the rubbish bins provided. If the appropriate bins have been set up, the rubbish must be sorted and disposed of in a manner that is suitable for recycling. Separating waste reduces operating costs because disposing of sorted waste is cheaper than disposing of unsorted waste. Garbage areas must be kept clean to prevent rats and vermin from settling.

It is not permitted to leave bulky waste in the garbage areas, in the basement corridors or other places on the property. Garbage disposal facilities may not be used between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. The garbage must be placed in closed bags in the disposal system. For fire safety reasons, glowing objects (cigarette butts, etc.) may not be thrown into the garbage disposal systems.

Green spaces are not football fields, sidewalks are not roads for bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles and cars. However, children up to ten years old are allowed to play with their bikes on the sidewalks.

Rest times must also be observed on playgrounds and football fields.

Smoking or carrying naked lights (candles, oil lamps, etc.) is prohibited on floors, in cellars and in stairwells. No highly flammable or fire-hazardous materials may be stored in the storage rooms outside the apartments.

In severe frost, there is a risk that water pipes will freeze and, as a result, pipes will burst. All rooms in which there are water pipes must be sufficiently heated.

The tenant accepts the house rules as binding for him. A violation of the house rules is a use of the rental property in violation of the contract.

In serious cases, the landlord can terminate the contractual relationship without observing a notice period after an unsuccessful warning. The tenant is liable to pay compensation for all damages caused to the landlord due to violation or non-compliance with the house rules and failure to comply with reporting obligations. The landlord may make changes and additions to the house rules.

If you are away for more than 14 days, deposits can occur in the water pipes due to the lack of water exchange. We would therefore recommend that you briefly turn on the taps after your return to flush out the pipes.
