Larger apartments
Most apartments are standard (17-19 m²). There are some larger apartments (starting from 21 m²) and they all contain a low sleeper. These larger and therefore slightly more expensive apartments are ideal for students aged 21 and over, who can receive more housing allowance for the larger homes than younger students. The basic rent for these homes is between €650 and €800, the service costs are the same as the apartments with a low slepper. Usually the larger apartments are first offered to tenants on the waiting list who already live at Markt058 and who want to move from a standard apartment to a larger one. You can view some pictures of these larger apartments here .
Service costs
The following is all included in the advance for service costs; super fast internet, furniture and soft furnishing, utility costs and heating of your own apartment and the common areas, security and cleaning of the common areas.
