Possible Accommodations
Tips before Renting your Own Place
Before signing a lease, you should always check with your property owner to clarify what is included in the rent.
In private dormitories, it is common to pay a rate that includes utilities and wifi.
If you’re renting a private apartment, you usually have to make arrangements regarding utilities yourself, e.g. for electricity, Internet, and waste collection.
For further information on renting and living in Germany please check here or contact the Service Point Team.

Broadcasting Fee
- After you registered in Heilbronn, you will automatically receive a letter requesting you to pay a mandatory fee of € 18.36 for using the public broadcasting service, even if you don't own a television. In a shared apartment the fee has to be paid only once and not per person. Here you can find further information
Security Deposit
- Please note that property owners often require a security deposit which can be as much as two or three months’ rent (Kaltmiete). You will get back your deposit once you move out.
- Before you move in, visit the apartment along with the property owner and write down all visible damages in a handover protocol, so that there are no problems when you move out.
