Wohnheim Bonner Straße 478-482

Overview

The seventh residential floor in a former hotel offers nine spaces (three two-person shared flats and three single rooms with a bathroom). In the six floors below, the hotel is used as a refugee home by the city of Cologne. Some leisure activities can be shared, e.g. the billiard table and table tennis on the first floor. The spaces are reserved for men. The residential floor has been newly renovated and has a modern and practical communal kitchen with a washing machine.

The TH Südstadt, the CBS International Business School and the attractive nightlife district around Chlodwigplatz can be reached by bike in about ten minutes.

Rent deposit
The deposit for standard rentals is 400 EUR and is payable with the first rent payment. For short-term rentals with a stay of 10-12 months, no deposit is required. However, a short-term tenant surcharge of 30 EUR per month is applied.

Duration of housing
The tenancy agreements are concluded for a period of one semester until the maximum period of residence of three years is reached. The three-year time limit is intended to enable as many students as possible to find a favourable place in a hall of residence (rotation principle).

An extension for one year beyond the maximum period of residence of three years can only be granted to those who:
- have registered for the final part of an examination procedure at their university at the time the contract expires,
- has been constructively involved in the administration of a student hall of residence (e.g. tutor) during the term of the tenancy
- would be unreasonably burdened by the move and can prove this (e.g. acute illness, but not financial reasons or housing shortage in the city)
