Please spend the quarantine period exclusively in the apartment. Ask friends and acquaintances to do the shopping for you.

You live in a shared apartment with up to 6 people:
Please spend the quarantine period in your shared apartment or multi-room apartment. Arrange times with your roommates when you can use the kitchen and bathroom. The work surfaces and sanitary facilities must be disinfected before and after use. Ask your roommates to do the shopping for you.

You live in a shared apartment:
Under certain conditions, the caretaker will provide you with a refrigerator, a stove and a kettle for the period of quarantine so that you can take care of yourself.

No. In this situation, we do not require students to vacate their room/apartment. Even now, enforcement law already applies: The tenant's right to physical integrity takes precedence over the landlord's interest in eviction. Since everyone is called upon to behave in solidarity and to drastically reduce contacts, the tenant cannot be obliged to move out - also to protect others. This also applies if you live in an apartment or a shared room or as a sublet on the open housing market.
