I am starting to study in Hamburg, how can I apply for a room?

You can apply 3 months before the desired move-in date or the start of studies. You can find more details under application information.

When do I have to apply for a place in a student residence?

You can apply up to 3 months before your desired move-in date. For more information, see application information.

Can I send the application form by post?

Only in exceptional cases (hardship application: students with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities). All others apply online. The application for admission can be filled out and sent directly.

How long do I have to wait for a place in a student residence?

We cannot give you an exact waiting time. However, we recommend that you apply for all residences, as this will give you the shortest waiting time.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes, the amount of the deposit is staggered as follows:

monthly rent up to 300 € = 400 € deposit
monthly rent up to 400 € = 500 € deposit (exception Rudolf-Laun-Haus: deposit 450 €)
monthly rent up to 450 € = 600 € deposit
monthly rent up to 600 € = 700 € deposit
monthly rent from 601 € = 800 € deposit

Guests do not pay a deposit, but a key deposit of 100 € is charged and, if necessary, a final cleaning fee of 25 €.

Is it possible to rent a room for a short time (up to 6 months) for an internship or similar?

You can find more details under application information for short-term tenants.

Can I also rent a room as a pupil?

Unfortunately no.

I would like to cancel, what do I have to do?

We require written notice of termination with your original signature no later than 6 weeks before the end of the month in which you wish to move out.

What do I have to bear in mind when dealing with the broadcasting fee?

To make it a little easier for you to deal with the broadcasting fee, we have compiled the most frequently asked questions/answers.

We offer you a cable TV and internet connection free of charge; however, the broadcasting fee is not included and is therefore your own responsibility. The Studierendenwerk Hamburg - AöR cannot and must not pay the broadcasting fee for you, as this is a matter of private law.
