Signing rental agreements
During our pick-up service weekends there are a lot of students arriving at the same time and this can sometimes lead to long waiting hours. In order to minimize the waiting time the staff of the Accommodation Office needs work quickly and effectively. This means that they might not have time to explain everything regarding the tenancy contract and so forth.  Hence, when you apply for accommodation, please read through some of the tenancy contracts examples. Please note the contracts posted on this page are only samples. Differences may occur depending on the landlord.

All arriving students will sign their rental agreements at the University, even if the University is not the landlord. This is a service provided to the landlords that the University cooperated with.
