Damage reports, such as a dripping faucet or a crack in a fixture, must always be submitted via the housing portal.
The laundry room is located in the basement. Payment for the machines can be made either using the locking coin/card or with the MensaCard (which you can obtain at the cafeterias of studierendenWERK). Credit can be added to the CampusCard or MensaCard at the top-up machines located in the cafeterias, or by visiting the food truck that occasionally stops by the residence. An overview of all open locations where you can top up your MensaCard can be found here.
You do not need detergent or fabric softener. These are automatically included in the washing cycle.
Rent payment is made by direct debit (SEPA) from the 5th of each month for the respective current month.
If no SEPA-capable bank account is available in the first month, you can transfer the rent to the following bank account in this case:
Recipient: studierendenWERK BERLIN
Bank: DKB
IBAN: DE47 1203 0000 1020 5830 41
BIC: BYLADEM1001
Reference: Personal number | VO number
(The details can be found on the first page of the rental agreement.)
If your SEPA mandate is only submitted at the beginning of a current month, the debit can be made from the 15th in that month; a further debit after the 15th is not possible within the same month.
If you do not submit your SEPA mandate in time, it can only be used from the following month, and you must transfer the current rent to studierendenWERK Berlin yourself.

1. First, give notice of termination:
If you have decided to move out soon, you must terminate your contract. To do so, log in to your housing portal and click on your current contract. The termination button will then become active. Use it to inform us of the date on which you would like to move out.
Your notice period is 6 weeks to the end of the month. This means you can always give notice by the 15th of a month to terminate the contract at the end of the following month.2. Make an appointment with the caretaker:
As soon as we have received your notice of termination, you will receive a confirmation. We will then inform you when the caretaker will inspect your room. The caretaker will explain exactly what you still need to take care of before moving out. Please follow their instructions.3. Organize the departure day:
The move-out must take place no later than the last working day before the end of the contract (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, and also not on December 24 or December 31) by 8:00 a.m.
Please arrange an appointment directly with the caretaker to hand over the key/coins. This will help you avoid waiting times and ensure that you can catch your train or flight on time.Please clear out your room as well as the kitchen and bathroom and clean everything thoroughly. If the room is not handed over in proper condition, we will commission a company to do so. You will then have to bear the costs.
If you no longer need items, please do not dispose of them in household waste. Bulky waste and electronic waste must be taken to a recycling center. If you have a bicycle, do not forget to take it with you. Remember to set up a mail forwarding order and to deregister at the citizens’ registration office (Bürgeramt).
The deposit will be transferred to the bank account you provided no earlier than 8 weeks after the end of the rental contract, provided there are no outstanding claims.
If there were any defects at the time of your move-out, the processing time may be longer due to the need to request invoices.
Please make sure that a valid bank account is on file for the deposit refund.
If you submit a bank account from a non-EU country, please provide the following details:
- IBAN or account number
- BIC / SWIFT
- Account holder
- Address of the account holder
- Name of the bank
- IFSC (Indian Financial System Code – for Indian accounts only)
