Tips for tenants

Before moving out of an apartment, the tenant must carry out various works. These range from checking the functionality of door locks to painting ceiling and wall surfaces to cleaning radiators. In our checklist, we have clearly summarized all the relevant work that needs to be done before moving out.

If the humidity is too high, damp spots can appear, especially in bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms - often also in the corners of rooms. If moisture persists, mold can even form. This can be avoided by proper heating and ventilation behavior. This not only saves trouble and costs, but also protects health. Even simple measures such as regular shock ventilation, appropriate heating of the rooms or the use of structural aids make an important contribution to prevention. We have summarised the most important tips for you in our guide.

Especially in the cold winter months, mold formation can be effectively prevented by proper ventilation during the heating season. There is no general answer to the question "How do you ventilate properly?", but shock ventilation, gap ventilation and dosed ventilation in combination have proven to be effective. Opening windows for long periods of time, on the other hand, does not lead to better drying, but above all increases heating energy consumption. In another guide, we will show you how you can reduce living humidity and avoid mould by ventilating properly while heating at the same time.

If you notice any defects or damage in one of our properties during the rental period, we ask you to inform us as soon as possible. To make it easier for you to report, we will provide you with a claim form that you can fill out and submit to us.
