Dual occupancy

Doppelbelegung (Deutsch)

Residents who wish to share their room with someone for a certain period of time can dual occupy it. However, no profit may be made compared to their own rent and the ancillary costs must be paid twice.

Visitors do not have to apply for this, even if they are staying for a few days. You are no longer considered a visitor if your center of live is in the HaDiKo, e.g. if they are studying, working or completing an internship here.

If you would like to share your room, you must first apply for permission from the self-administration. Once you have received approval, you should conclude a subletting contract with your subtenant.

During the period of double occupancy, the main tenant must regularly hand in their certificate of enrollment. If the subletting lasts longer than 3 months, the subtenant's certificate of enrollment must be submitted together with the application.

Application

If you intend to dual occupy, you need the approval of the self-administration. You may find the required forms here. It must contain:

If the duration of the dual occupancy exceeds 3 months, the certificate of enrollment of the dual occupant must be submitted with the application.

Approval of floor mates

For a dual occupancy application to be approved, it requires the approval of your floor mates. Only proper residents may sign the application. For a dual occupancy of up to 3 months, you need the approval of at least 50% of your floor mates, 75% for up to 6 months.

It is generally recommended to introduce your subtenant before asking your floor mates for their signatures.
