Housing advice

Hello! Are you studying at the Hochschule Niederrhein and looking for suitable accommodation? Do you feel lost in the housing jungle?

Don't worry, the university and the AStA of the HSNR don't have their own flats, but they work together with other organisations to help you. Whether it's a room in a shared flat, a studio flat or a hall of residence - we are here to help you find accommodation. Every enquiry is treated confidentially and individually. Thanks to our many years of experience, we know the ins and outs of finding accommodation. Simply write to our housing officer or drop by our office in Krefeld-West in person. You can also take a look at the digital notice board on the homepage, where you will find housing offers and other useful information for finding accommodation. We look forward to helping you!

If you have problems with your landlord/landlady, Ms Weiskircher from the Studierendenwerk will be happy to help. Simply contact her via this e-mail address: Weiskircher@stw-d.de

ATTENTION:

The AStA's housing counselling service provides supportive advice to help you find accommodation. Please note that we cannot guarantee successful placement or the availability of accommodation.

Which aspects of the tenancy agreement should I pay special attention to?

  • Firstly: please be very careful! There are many scammers out there!
  • Does the tenancy agreement include the landlord’s contact details?
  • are the rent and additional costs clearly stated? Watch out for hidden clauses!
  • please pay attention at the deposit! It must not exceed three months` basic rent.
  • most importantly: never pay the deposit before you signed the tenancy agreement! You can pay before you get the keys, during or in three installments.
  • the deposit should always be transferred to a German bank account! Never via PayPal or Klarna!
