Housing

Extension of the period of residence

You have the possibility to extend your lease for the following semester, taking into account the deadline for the application in each case:

•     In Mainz until 30.06. for the winter semester and until 31.12. for the summer semester;
•     in Bingen by May 31 for the winter semester and by November 30 for the summer semester.

The payment of rent in the contractually owed amount remains, of course, just as much a prerequisite for the approval of your application for an extension of the period of residence as the validity of all other clauses from the rental contract.

You are enrolled at TH Bingen, JGU Mainz or HS Mainz?

The period of residence in our student dormitories is limited to ten semesters for students who are fully eligible for housing, even if you change between dormitories. Up to your 10th semester of residence, you can generally apply for an extension of the period of residence by one additional semester.

you have priority: As fully residential students according to § 2 Abs. 1 de  Framework statutes of the dorms.

Are you enrolled at another university or not studying at all?

Students from other universities are only entitled to a limited period of residence of up to 4 semesters in accordance with § 2. para. 1, sentence 2. of the framework statutes, but can also apply for an extension of the period of residence. External, non-students are also eligible for restricted housing with a maximum housing duration of up to 4 semesters. Lease agreements for students who are not fully eligible for housing in accordance with § 2 para. 4 of the framework statutes can only be extended for a further semester if there are still sufficient bed spaces available in the following semester. Priority in this regard, however, will be given to students.

You want to extend beyond your maximum 10 semesters of residence?
