1. Term of the Contract: As a general rule, we conclude fixed-term contracts for the use of apartments.
A fixed-term contract is valid for one year and then becomes indefinite. This means that after the one-year period, a party can terminate the Contract at any time (ordinary cancellation) by giving a 3 months’ notice to the other party. Contracts can also be concluded for a longer period.
2. Subletting: Subletting an apartment and other premises (e.g. the storage room, parking space) is not permitted without the Lessor’s consent.
3. Rent: When using apartments as a dwelling, the rent does not include value-added tax. Value-added tax is also not added to the rent. Rent for a parking spot, storage room, bicycle parking spot and baby carriage parking spot include 20% VAT. The Rent increases after every 12 months by the consumer price index, but not more than 3% of the current rent.
4. Ancillary costs: Ancillary costs are distributed in proportion to the area of the apartment and are supplemented by fees for water and electricity consumed in the apartment according to the tariffs of the service providers.

6. Residents: All the persons who will share the apartment with the Lessee must be specified in the Contract.
