Housing

You can only move out with the landlord's permission and only for a valid reason. You must explain the valid reason in your application.

The landlord decides at their own discretion whether your application can be approved or not.

Moving to another accommodation provided by the Mainz Student Union is only possible at the beginning of a new semester. This means that you can move at the earliest 6 months after moving in. After that, you can only move every 6 months, always at the beginning of the semester.

A request to move must be submitted in writing. The written request must be submitted to the Student Housing Department by the deadlines listed below.

Deadline for submitting the request:

• Moving during the winter semester: by June 30 at the latest.
• Moving during the summer semester: by December 31 at the latest.

If your request to move is approved and you sign a new lease with the Mainz Student Services Association, a one-time administrative fee of €200 may apply. This fee is due together with your first rent payment for the new room.

Your previously paid deposit will be offset against the deposit for the new room. If there is a remaining balance, we will debit it from your account. If you have paid too much deposit, you will be refunded the difference.
