Fire safety in student housing: what must your landlord do, what must/can you do?

Based on the motto 'don't let your student life go up in smoke,' there are a number of measures to prevent fires and together ensure the safety in student accommodation.

Everything about your contract: Can you terminate the lease early?

A written lease for a specific period may, in principle, not be terminated early unless a termination clause is provided for in the lease. The model lease from Kotweb provides both parties the option to terminate the lease early in a few specific situations:

Everything about your contract: Rental guarantee

A deposit is usually one or two month's rent. If you pay via a bank transfer, you always have a proof of payment. However, if you pay cash upon arrival you also need to ask for proof of payment! Never pay rent or deposit through Western Union. A deposit is just that, a deposit; it is not a way to pay your last month' rent.

Everything about your contract: Can you use your student accommodation during the holiday months if you have a 10-month lease?

Be sure to agree this with your landlord in time! If you have a model lease from Kotweb, the basics for you and your landlord are already specified, namely:

Everything about your contract: Fixtures and fittings inventory

You and your landlord must draw up a detailed inventory together when the property is still vacant or within a month after moving in. This is required by law, even for student rooms.

Everything about your contract: House rules

House rules are sometimes included by property owners as a supplement to the lease. These house rules are drawn up by the owner and specify what s/he considers important.

Everything about your contract: Rights and obligations of tenant and landlord

What is involved in letting a room? We list the main obligations and rights of the landlord and the tenant. This puts you immediately up to date with the legal agreements between you and your landlord.

What to do with your rubbish?
