Question 1

Are There Any Age Restrictions for Booking Accommodation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, age restrictions apply depending on your status and the type of accommodation:

Minimum Age: You must be at least 18 years old to proceed with a booking.

Students: The maximum age for student accommodation is 30 years old.

Young Professionals in Shared Accommodation: The maximum age for shared accommodation is 35 years old.

Expats in Non-Shared Accommodation: Expats can book private accommodations beyond this age limit. The exact eligibility may depend on the type of accommodation and landlord policies.

Difference between Young Professional Expat (YPE) and Expat

A Young Professional is someone in the early stages of their career (0–5 years of work experience), typically between 20 and 35 years old, and often with a higher education background.

An Expat is someone working in a foreign country, often on a temporary basis, regardless of their career stage. Expats can range widely in age, and eligibility for accommodations may depend on their employment status and the type of rental. Please note that Expat can only lease Independent accommodation with IITN.

Question 2

Why Is Cleaning Service Included In The Contract?

Accepted Answer

A clean and well-maintained home is key to a comfortable and hygienic living environment. To ensure that shared spaces remain tidy and pleasant for everyone, the landlord has arranged for professional cleaning. This service helps maintain high standards of cleanliness, prevents disputes over household chores, and ensures a welcoming atmosphere for all tenants.

The cleaning service is scheduled twice a week by default, ensuring that common areas such as kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms remain hygienic. The cost is based on the size of the property and the number of tenants or units in the accommodation. For example, in an apartment of approximately 75m², the total monthly cleaning costs is around €200. If the apartment is shared by three tenants, each contributes approximately €66.67 per month.

If there is a valid reason to request an adjustment to the cleaning frequency, tenants may contact the landlord or property management agency after moving in. Adjustments are not guaranteed and will only be considered on a case-by-case basis at the landlord’s discretion.
