The tenant will have access to communal rooms for utilisation in line with their intended purposes. Additional people are not entitled to reside in the living spaces. The tenant acknowledges that there is a legitimate interest in limiting the period of this rental arrangement; student residence rentals constitute an indirect form of government support, and due to the limited number of places available in student residences, the rotation principle allows as many students as possible to have access to state-supported accommodation. 3. The monthly rent is currently . EUR. When due, the tenant will transfer it in reasonable amounts to an account given by the landlord. The tenant will arrange a direct debit for this purpose prior to the contracts commencement.

 2 Rental/residence eligibility 1. Those eligible for rent/residence are regular students at Studentenwerk Tbingen-Hohenheim-maintained higher education institutes. The completion of the foreseen examinations in the students field is regarded as the completion of that students studies. 2. The tenant is obliged to provide the Studentenwerk's Housing Department with a matriculation, study or schooling certificate alongside indication of their residence and room number. This obligation begins with the commencement of the rental relationship and must be repeated before the first day of each semester (not before the beginning of classes!). The tenant must prove that such a certificate has been received. If the Studentenwerk's Housing Department has not received such certification by the above-stated date and the tenant still fails to present such certification within a week of receiving a warning notice, the Studentenwerk is entitled to terminate the rental relationship without notice as per 543 BGB. The tenant is then also liable for any lost rental income that results from this termination. 3. Reference is made to 20 Para. 3. 4. The tenant is obliged to immediately notify the Studentenwerk in writing in the event of his residence right ending and then to terminate the rental agreement as per 17 Para. 2. 1. 5. In addition to the tenant, no other person has the right to reside in the living or communal areas. 6. Tenants who are minors or have only limited legal capacity as per 106 BGB must provide the informed consent of their legal representative in order to successfully arrange the rental agreement. The Studentenwerk will provide a form for this purpose. 3 Rent, rent calculation, rent changes, charges 1. The Studentenwerk calculates the rent for the rental property so that the rent covers the on-going expenses for all of the rental units taken together. The rent is therefore a cost rent for the purpose of cost recovery and will, if nothing else is agreed, be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Second Calculation Regulation. This regulation estimates administrative costs for residences such as apartments. The Studentenwerk may allocate the income and expenses according to the individual sites, numbers of people or housing units. It may also have good cause to change the allocation formula or system. The tenant has no claim on any change or retention. The area used for calculation may be higher than the actual area. Rental objects of similar size and/or provision may be combined into groups for calculation purposes; the calculation can weigh up qualitative differences between, for instance, provision, layout and location. Another basis for rent calculation is the object's target occupancy or the number of rooms on-site. 2. The rent consists of the Studentenwerk's capital costs, leasehold, rental expenses, property and inventory depreciation, maintenance reserves, furnishing surcharge, administrative costs allocation, rent loss, all operating costs according to the Operating Costs Regulation and including taxes, maintenance, staff allocation/caretaker, external cleaning, dry cleaning, cleaning materials, insurance, fire extinguisher operation and maintenance, (tele-)communications equipment of all kinds including GEZ and GEMA fees for Studentenwerk-operated devices, ventilation systems, vehicles, lawn mowers and similar devices, electricity, water, drainage, waste disposal, gas, heating, water heating and related expenses. Consumable costs in communal spaces and shared objects are included as well as expenses for common areas and facilities.

3. -, 50 per resident per month can be charged as a contribution for the student self-administration. 4. If new costs, expenses or rent components are introduced or required, the Studentenwerk is entitled to include these in the next rental calculation. 5. If changes in operating costs or the Second Calculation Regulation require/legally permit a rent increase or mean that a cost-covering rent level has not been reached, the tenant is required to pay the accordingly increased rent from the start of the next month as long as the Studentenwerk has given notification of the change's type and value by, at the latest, the 15th of the previous month. This also applies if the rental agreement has already been agreed but the rental period has not yet begun. 6. The Studentenwerk is entitled to specify new rent components as required. It is also entitled to calculate costs for some or all Studentenwerk-managed rental entities together, even if those entities are based in different buildings. 7. A right to rent offset, retention or reduction is only possible on uncontested or legally established claims. This does not apply to claims made as per 536 a BGB. 8. The rent will be charged on the third business day of the current month, and then monthly in advance from the tenants rent account. 9. Bank account detail changes can only be taken into consideration up to the first business day of each month for the current month. 10. If the tenant incurs extra charges as part of the rental relationship such as fees, bank charges, collection expenses, damages, expense reimbursements etc. the Studentenwerk may withdraw these sums from his rental account after first issuing notification. Payments will be charged in the following order: damages, charges/fees, interest, deposit, rent. 11. If the deduction is not possible due to tenant debt, the tenant will be liable for the costs incurred. If the tenant cancels his direct debit or pays in cash, the Studentenwerk can charge an administrative fee of 10 per month for its increased effort - and without demonstrating any specific evidence relating to this charge. 12. For special services such as contract changes, contract termination without observation of the notice period and repeated reminders, the Studentenwerk may impose a fee or administrative charge. A corresponding table is posted in the Residence Administration for review.

4 Rent deposit 1. Before the tenant is authorised to use the rented accommodation, he/she must pay a deposit (the amount of which is defined in the tenancy agreement) into a bank account or at the cash desk of the Studentenwerk of Tbingen-Hohenheim. 2. The transfer voucher or pay-in slip must be presented when moving in. 3. The tenant does not have the right to claim interest on the deposit ( 551 Para. 3 BGB). 4. The tenant cannot offset the deposit against outstanding Studentenwerk claims for the duration of the tenancy. 5. The deposit is used for all outstanding expenses of the former tenant after the tenancy has ended, including damage to the rooms or furniture above and beyond normal wear and tear, missing keys, replacement lock cylinders or other Studentenwerk claims arising from the rental agreement. 6. After the tenant has moved out and the rented accommodation and key have been handed over, the Studentenwerk will transfer either the full or remaining deposit amount to either the bank account specified by the tenant or the tenants last known account. Transfer costs are borne by the tenant (for transfers abroad etc.). The deposit will be transferred when the rental account has been settled, approximately 2-3 after the end of the rental relationship.

5 Rental duration, use 1. The rental agreement begins on the date specified in 1 Para. 1 and is usually limited to 6 semesters.

2. The tenant has a right to use the service rooms available as per his residencys location; the Studentenwerk reserves the right to impose a restriction on these spaces that does not cause the tenant considerable inconvenience. With regard to communal areas, the Studentenwerk can apply both temporal and temporary restrictions. The tenant is not permitted to use the rented property, the communal areas or any parts of them including Internet access for commercial or similar purposes. The tenant is also not permitted to conduct advertising on the Studentenwerks properties. 3. A termination of the rental agreement before the agreements end is possible as per 17. 4. An extension of the rental agreement is possible in justified cases of hardship or to compensate for semesters consisting of volunteer work. A request must be submitted to the Studentenwerk at least 10 weeks before the end of the rental period. The application should state the reasons for the desired extension along with its requested length. 5. An extension of the rental relationship requires the conclusion of a new rental agreement. 6. If the tenant does not move in on the rental agreements first day, moves out before the last day, does not take all of the inventory items or does not use all of the facilities provided (e.g. Internet), he is not entitled to a pro rata rent refund.

6 Liability 1. The Studentenwerk is only liable for injury caused to the tenant and his guests and damage caused to items brought by or stored for these parties if the Studentenwerk or its agents are guilty of gross negligence or malicious intent. All further claims are excluded. The Studentenwerk does not insure the tenant's property or possessions. 2. The Studentenwerk accepts no liability for any damages caused to vehicles or for theft either on or from its rented parking spaces. 3. The Studentenwerk accepts no liability for the operation of telecommunications lines or their failure. Continuous availability cannot be guaranteed. The tenant is not entitled to receive particular communications services (e.g. telephone, television, radio, data lines/Internet). 4. The Studentenwerk is not liable for the activities of the student self-administration or its staff.

7 Moving in/Moving out 1. Moving in and out is only possible on working days (generally Monday to Friday) within office hours. The tenant must bring and show proof of having paid the deposit or relocation fee to the handover meeting as well as a passport or identity document. If the rental agreement begins on a Saturday, Sunday, public holiday or other non-working day, moving in will be possible on the next working day. 2. On moving in, the condition of the rented property will be recorded in a log that will be signed by both the tenant and the Studentenwerk or its representative. After the log has been signed, the tenant is required to limit any changes or deterioration of the rented property to usage as defined in the contract. Rented properties that are furnished or partly furnished give the tenant the right to claim a basic set of furnishings. Any small furniture, bed linens, bedding materials, curtains, curtain rails, desk lamps or similar objects that the Studentenwerk may leave at the start of a rental period are extra items that may be recalled at any time. If these items are recalled, the tenant has no right to claim a rent reduction. 3. The tenant must register with the relevant citizen registration office in the residency's location within one week of moving in, providing information on the residency's address. The same applies when moving out. 4. Unauthorised obtaining or switching of rented properties is a serious violation of the rental agreement and can lead the Studentenwerk to immediate rental agreement termination. 5. Moves within residencies are only authorised by the Studentenwerk is exceptional cases. No entitlement to such a move exists. 6. Every move requires the arrangement of a new rental agreement that takes into account the current rental length. The current rental agreement automatically expires from the date on which the new contract begins. The move will be handled like moving out (see 18) followed by moving in (see 7 Paras. 1-4). As such, a deposit will be required for the new rented property; the deposit for the old residence will be paid out when the rental account is settled as with all moving out procedures (see 4) or it can be rebooked on request. If no special attestation is given by the Studentenwerk, the significant costs involved in managing the move will be met with a fee as per 3 Para. 12.

8 Tenant obligations 1. The tenant is permanently obliged to: a) treat his room(s) and all communal areas and thoroughfares both in and around the residency (shared kitchen, washrooms, showers, toilets, balconies, stairs, bicycle cellar, laundry, courtyard and garden areas, garages, driveways, etc.) with care and to keep them clean. b) maintain the rented property and items supplied by the Studentenwerk, avert damage as far as he is able, and contribute to a good living quality through his conduct. c) sufficiently ventilate the rented property as well as heating it, protecting it against frost and keeping it clean. d) sufficiently and regularly clean the apartment/residential group as per a cleaning plan that the apartment/residential group residents may create themselves. The Studentenwerk is permitted it create a binding cleaning plan for all residents and to check by means of a visit - without prior notice whether the tenant is sufficiently fulfilling his cleaning duty. If the cleaning is either insufficiently or not at all carried out, the Studentenwerk is permitted (after first setting a deadline) to carry out cleaning at cost of the tenant or apartment/residential group tenants. e) keep his rented property and all other rooms that he uses free of vermin. If a vermin infestation occurs, the tenant must inform the Studentenwerk at once; if the tenant is (at least in part) at fault, he is liable for the costs of pest control measures. The tenant can only claim that the rented property was infested prior to the commencement of the rental relationship if the Studentenwerk was informed of this in the immediate aftermath of his moving in. f) mark all stored or left items in communal areas and storage rooms/cupboards with his name and room number. Items left without a marking may be removed without notice. g) keep the house and apartment/residential group door closed at all times, and windows and other doors closed when away. h) support the Studentenwerk's staff and representatives in the performance of their duties. i) to refrain from all nuisance to fellow residents and neighbours, in particular between 22:00 and 07:00 and then again between 13:00 and 15:00. j) immediately notify the Studentenwerk of any damage or faults. If the tenant does not promptly report damage or faults in the rented property, he will be liable for consequential damages - even if he was not at fault for the original issue(s). k) pay attention to the careful consumption of electricity, gas, water and heating. 2. The tenant is liable for damage caused to Studentenwerk-managed objects (buildings and inventory) by violating his obligations as set out in this rental agreement. In the same manner, the tenant is responsible for damages and rental agreement violations caused by his relatives, guests etc. or items that he brought in. The onus to prove no fault lies on the tenant.

Note: The tenant is strongly recommended to take out personal liability insurance if he is not already covered by a policy (e.g. via parents [check age limits!] or a spouse). It is wise to include cover against rental damages.
3. If the rented property or inventory is affected by faults, the tenant may only validly demand a rent offset or right of retention if the counterclaim is found to be undisputed or legally binding. The tenant is required to give written notification of any offset at least one month before that rent is due.

4. The Studentenwerk may make improvements and structural changes without the tenant's consent if these works are essential to the integrity of the house or rental spaces or are required to avert potential dangers/repair damages. With regard to the tenant having to tolerate the works, no claims for rent reduction, right of retention or damages may be made. 5. The tenants of an apartment/residential group are jointly required to sort rubbish of all kinds and to take this rubbish out of both the rented residencies and the communal areas. This must be done on a regular basis, in a proper manner (no disposal via sewers!) and with space-saving in mind. Legal regulations must be observed. Foodstuffs such as fruit, rice, semolina, flour, cereal, nuts, raisins, almonds etc. must be kept in sealed, regularly checked containers before any long absences (e.g. term holidays). This will prevent them from spoiling, attracting vermin or being removed. Used dishes must be rinsed and put away immediately after use. Immediate putting away also applies to foodstuffs. Together with the other residential group residents, the tenant must change or clean the extractor hood filter every October and April. 6. The tenant is not permitted to modify or remove notices posted by the Studentenwerk or to place or operate private appliances such as washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, cookers, baking equipment or similar facilities inside the rented property or the communal areas. The same applies to: heating coals; laying tiles, carpets or other floor coverings; changing doors; laminating, spraying or studding windows and their frames; adding drawing pins, banners, flags, posters etc. to room or apartment doors, coated surfaces, windows, balconies or walls; setting up or installing flower pots and boxes or other objects on windowsills outside the house; attaching decals or sports equipment; and having barbeques on balconies. Barbeques are only allowed in designated areas. Washing may only be hung in designated and appropriate places (not from windows, parapets or railings); escape routes must always be kept accessible. 7. The tenant is solely responsible for registering his radio and/or television, regardless of where his residence is situated. It should also be noted that the Studentenwerk does not pay GEZ or GEMA fees for tenant or student self-administration devices at parties, in communal areas etc. The erection and installation of satellite dishes and/or outdoor antennas is not permitted. Radios or televisions that are found outside rented residencies without name identification may be removed on request. 8. The tenant may only use the Internet connection for study and private purposes (an 'academic network'; see also 5 Para. 2). Individual or room-based services (e.g. Internet) offered or provided by the Studentenwerk may not be passed over to third parties. Tampering, use of false/invalid addresses, sending insults or 'Hacking' are illegal and pose a massive risk to use by the entire network. These practices represent such serious violations of the rental agreement that they can lead to an immediate contract termination without prior warning. For connections over third parties, e.g. a data centre, the tenant acknowledges the currently valid usage regulations and/or terms and conditions. 9. The Studentenwerk is permitted to remove and dispose of furniture brought in by the tenant at his cost if it is in a soiled or unusable condition or is suspected of having a pest infestation. This also applies to furniture in communal areas. Anything that hinders cleaning as well as items and materials that are unhygienic, do not comply with fire regulations or restrict escape routes (e.g. shoes, foot mats) will be disposed of without prior notice and at the tenant's risk and expense. This clause particularly applies in kitchens, hallways and stairwells. 10. Furniture and accessories that belong to the rented property may not be altered, disassembled or removed from that property. This also applies to furniture in communal areas. 11. Costs for all glass damage repairs within the rented property (windows, doors, lights, mirrors, cabinets etc.) are borne by the tenant. 12. The keeping of animals is prohibited out of regard to other residents and hygiene reasons. 13. Walking on flat roofs is strictly prohibited - Danger of death! Risk of roof damage! 14. In addition to the times outlined in 18 Para. 1, the tenant must accept access to the rented rooms on weekdays between 07:00 and 18:00 if at least 24 hours of notice is given. No notice is required within these times if damages/impairments are reported. In cases of serious danger due to major damages, access is permitted without notice at any time. If the tenant denies/impedes access or makes entry impossible in any other way, he becomes responsible for all damages and/or costs that may result. The Studentenwerk does not need to give notice to enter communal areas or car or bicycle parking spaces. 15. The tenant is responsible for ensuring that all duties outlined in this rental agreement are met even when he is not able to fulfil them himself (due to absence, illness, internships, exams etc.) for example by nominating a representative. 9. Keys 1. On moving in, the tenant will be handed the necessary key(s) for the duration of the rental period. These key(s) generally belong to a master key system. Any loss of keys by the tenant must be immediately reported to the caretaker. The tenant will also be liable for any damages that arise from this loss. It is not permitted to give keys handed out by the Studentenwerk to third parties. Reproduction of keys is prohibited, and any attempt to do so constitutes a serious breach of the rental agreement that may result in its immediate termination. 2. In the case of lost keys, the Studentenwerk is entitled to replace all keys and corresponding lock cylinders with news ones at the tenants cost. 3. The tenant is not entitled to replace the Studentenwerk-fitted lock cylinder with an alternative. 4. If the Studentenwerk opens a residence or room door at the tenants request, the tenant must pay a fee as outlined in the Studentenwerk table referred to in 3 Para. 12. Such opening is only possible during the relevant caretakers normal working hours. 10 Use of the rented property by others 1. Any third-party use of the rented property, its parts or its keys is strictly prohibited regardless of whether in the form of an (even partial) sublet or the granting of usage rights. 2. On written request and in exceptional cases, the tenant may be granted written permission from the Studentenwerk to sublet the rented property to a third party as named by the residency administration. This can only take place for the duration of a tenant's temporary absence from the university's location during lecturefree periods (holidays), and not in the first two months of the rental relationship. The rental agreement's obligations remain with the tenant in such cases, and the rental relationship with the tenant remains active. The third party must submit a written statement agreeing to all provisions outlined in the rental agreement as well as the house and garage rules. Tenants and subletters then become jointly liable. The compensation received by the tenant for use may not exceed the rent payable by the tenant without the Studentenwerk's prior consent. The Studentenwerk may demand a rent surcharge of up to 25% as well as a fee from the subletter. 3. The tenant expressly declares that he has no intentions or reasons to allow third parties into the rented property or to set up a communal living arrangement within the residence either now, on signing this contract, or in the aftermath. The residences are not intended for spouses or children. 11 Maintenance, cosmetic repairs and structural alterations 1. The tenant is required to keep the rented areas in a habitable condition at all times. If, when the tenant moves out, the rented areas show signs of aboveaverage wear, neglect, strong and unpleasant smells, damage or other issues (e.g. different paint) that deviate from general habitable standards or which have not been professionally and properly corrected, the Studentenwerk is permitted to carry out the required cosmetic repairs at the tenant's expense. On moving out, the furniture must be handed over in its original condition. 2. The tenant has no right to receive the rented property in a renovated condition at the start of his tenancy. He is nevertheless entitled to paint the walls and ceiling himself using the colour and tools provided by the Studentenwerk. Costs for materials that have been procured and used by the tenant on an independent basis will not be reimbursed.

3. The tenant is prohibited from making structural changes both on and in the residence, its grounds and its parking spaces (see 12). 12 Technical facilities 1. Changes to fittings are prohibited. Similarly prohibited are the installation of electrical and communications lines and the opening of water outlets both within and outside the rented property and wider residence including the attachment of items to heating, water or electrical supplies and equipment. 2. If the rented property is provided with central heating, the Studentenwerk will keep this in operation during the colder months (1.10 - 30.4) as necessary. 3. Any lifts that are present may only be used as intended. No claims of permanent lift availability are made. 4. The Studentenwerk is not liable for the continual provision of water and power supplies or lifts if their disruption or failure lies outside of the Studentenwerk's own technical facilities. The tenant must report any faults or abnormalities to the Studentenwerk as soon as they are observed. 13 House rules 1. The Studentenwerks managing director has householder-equivalent authority over the premises. He is therefore in constant charge of the head of department, the caretaker/technical staff and the construction department staff within the residence. The same applies to these agents respective representatives. 2. The residence spokesman and his deputy have the same householder-equivalent authority during parties etc. held in the residence when those listed in 13 Para. 1 are neither working nor contactable. 14 Events, parties 1. Events, parties etc. are only permitted in coordination with the neighbours, the residence management, the caretaker and the student self-administration. Invitations extended to non-residents (also made via the Internet or otherwise) are only permitted with the Studentenwerks written consent. 2. During parties, both 5 Para. 2 and the quiet periods outlined in 8 Para. 1 must be observed. 15 Vehicles 1. The tenant is obliged to park his vehicle only in the designated areas. Failure to observe this obligation entitles the Studentenwerk to have the vehicle removed at the tenant or owners expense and risk. Repeated offences from parking space holders can lead to parking space lease termination without notice. Bicycles and motor vehicles (motorcycles, mopeds, scooters etc.) may not be parked inside the residence. 2. The tenant is not permitted to carry out any vehicle repairs that may annoy others or cause increased power consumption within the rented space, inside the grounds or in the close vicinity. Work that may cause environmental damage (e.g. oil changing) is particularly forbidden. 3. Roads, streets, paths and entrances may only be used for their intended purpose. Driving through park areas is prohibited. 4. Bicycles are to be stored in the designated bicycle cellars/sheds/stands/boxes if available. Locking or leaning bicycles or bicycle parts to railings, fences, posts, pillars, walls, doors, trees and other non-designated parts of the residence, including off-site facilities, is not allowed. Only bicycles may be left in the bicycle sheds/cellars. 5. It is prohibited to leave unregistered/unusable vehicles or any kind of vehicle parts in the residence itself or in grounds, rented parking spaces or bicycle storage areas that belong to Studentenwerk-administered residences. If such vehicles or vehicle parts are left, they will be removed at the cost and risk of the tenant or owner without warning. This clause also applies to any kind of vehicle that is left on paths, access roads or fire brigade access routes. 6. The Studentenwerk rents out vehicle parking spaces. The erection or storage here of furniture, rubbish, petrol cans or other flammable objects is prohibited. The tenant must provide the Studentenwerk with his vehicles registration number and make known any changes to this number without being requested to do so. 7. The Studentenwerk takes on no liability in its provision of parking spaces and also makes no guarantee that rented parking spaces will always be available for use. 8. Gas-powered vehicles are not permitted to use underground garages. The clearance height on these garages is generally around 2.00 meters. 9. The Studentenwerk does not provide snow/ice clearing or related services for parking spaces and their driveways or access roads. 16 Reimbursement for services 1. The Studentenwerk is entitled to bill the tenant separately for additional services that are necessitated by a tenants special request or improper behaviour. Examples of such behaviour include: late notification of move-out date; delayed handover of the rented property; keeping the rented property, apartment or residential group in a state that necessitates extra cleaning; causing particular neglect, marking or wear that requires the rented property to be repainted; not fully cleaning the rented property; leaving items that require storage; causing the Studentenwerk a wasted trip by not turning up to either an agreed appointment or the handover of the rented property; leaving items in the rented property that require removal; if Studentenwerk staff are required outside of their regular working hours. 2. Individual dues are set according to Studentenwerk expenses; the use of flat-rate prices is permitted. Reference is made to 3 Paras. 10 and 12. 17 Termination of the rental agreement 1. The rental agreement expires at the end of the contracted rental period or through written notice. 2. The tenant has the right to terminate the rental agreement by giving notice more than 2 months in advance of a semesters end.* Double rooms or apartments can only be terminated by all parties in conjunction; it is not possible to cancel individual elements within these arrangements. * Semester ends are based on the following dates: For university students: 31.03. or 30.09. of each year, For college students: 28.29.02. or 31.08. of each year. 3. The Studentenwerk has the right to terminate the rental agreement by giving notice more than 2 months in advance of a semesters end.* 4. The Studentenwerk may terminate the rental agreement without notice if the tenant: a) is in rental arrears to a value in excess of 2 months rent; b) uses the rented property or communal areas in breach of contract despite receiving a warning from the Studentenwerk in particular if the tenant allows a third party to use the rented property without permission for this use having first been granted; c) seriously or repeatedly violates, or continues to violate, the rental agreement, usage regulations or house/garage regulations; d) does not demonstrate residence entitlement as per 2. 5. If the rented property is situated within a building that is rented or leased by the Studentenwerk, then the situation may arise that the rental/lease agreement that exists between the Studentenwerk and the building owner is terminated. In this situation, the Studentenwerk is entitled to cancel the rental agreement with a

notice period of 3 months to the months end. This cancellation may involve deviation from 1. 6. The rental relationship always ends for both proper termination and contract period expiration on the last day of the month at 12:00. The rented property must be handed over to a Studentenwerk representative at the latest on the month's final working day, and during the representative's working hours. A handover is not possible on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays. Exmatriculation does not remove the need to give a notice period. 7. The rental relationship will not be extended if the rented property is not handed over when the rental period expires, on a termination date or in a meeting that has been arranged (with written confirmation) in a rental cancellation contract. 8. Self-assignment of new tenants is generally only permitted in self-managed residences. The Studentenwerk may accept a new tenant in individual and welljustified cases especially those involving planned stays abroad. 18 Obligations and conduct after rental agreement termination 1. The Studentenwerk has the right to visit the rented property on weekdays from 08:00 until 16:00. At least 24 hours notice must be given, and the visit can still take place if the tenant is not present. This right commences after the rental relationship has been terminated as well as throughout the relationship's final three months. 2. The moving-out date is be agreed with the caretaker or his deputy no later than 14 working days in advance. The Studentenwerk is entitled to inspect the condition of the rented property and the communal areas before the handover date. 3. The rented property is to be handed over to the Studentenwerk representative on a weekday (generally Monday to Friday) up to the last weekday of the tenancy at 12.00. At this point, the rented property and common areas within the apartment/residential group must have been cleared of all items belonging to the tenant, completely cleaned to a suitable level for the next tenant, and left with their inventories complete. 4. In the communal areas, the fridge must be defrosted and cleaned. The cooker, kitchen fan, bathroom, toilet, hallway, storage room/cabinet and windows must also be cleaned. If these objects are not left in an acceptable and hygienic condition, they can be cleaned at the tenants expense. In apartments and residential groups, all tenants are jointly liable (see 8 Para. 1). 5. The tenant must be present when handing over the rented property (see 16 Para. 1). When the handover has been completed, neither the rented property nor the communal areas may be re-entered. 6. The tenant must hand over all keys to the residence to the Studentenwerk representative. If keys are missing, the tenant is responsible for any damages arising from this loss (see 9 Para. 2). 7. If the tenant does not comply with these obligations, the Studentenwerk is entitled to open and/or clean or renovate the rented property at the tenants expense. The costs of any replacement lock cylinders and keys are payable by the tenant. 8. If the Studentenwerk determines that the tenant has abandoned the rented property (possibly through the leaving behind of items), it may re-lease this rented property. Items belonging to the tenant will be held safely/placed in storage at the tenants cost and risk. The Studentenwerks obligation to store the objects, during which time it is liable only for loss or damage caused by intent or gross negligence, ends after one month. After this period, the items either become the property of the Studentenwerk if they are usable or else will be disposed of at the tenants expense.
