Simple explanation
German rental arrangements are normally documented carefully. A tenancy agreement sets out the rent, additional costs and important conditions. A security deposit may also be agreed.
Keep your Mietvertrag, handover protocol, rent-payment records and correspondence. Read house rules carefully, especially rules concerning noise, shared areas, waste and building access.
