Frequently Asked Questions

  • What do I need to pay before moving in ?

    For tenants staying 1-3 months, we require just one month’s all-in rent as a deposit. For tenants staying 4-12 months, we will require two month’s all-in rent as a deposit. All of this is also shown in detail within our digital booking process.

  • Are there any other external fees or local taxes that I need to pay?

    The “Beitragsservice” (German Public Television / Media fee) will charge you 17,50 € per month (you pay Beitragsservice regardless of where you live in Germany).

  • Can I register Tannhaus as my main residence?

    Yes, you can. At the very least, it needs to be registered at the Bürgeramt as either your primary or your secondary address. Also keep in mind that because it is a residential space, business registry and activities such as regular “Publikumsverkehr” are prohibited at Tannhaus.

    Please be advised that you will be liable to second home tax in Berlin if you already have a primary residence in Germany.

  • What is included in the warm rent?

    The use of internet and TV is included in the rent at all properties.

    At Tannhaus Berlin Frankfurter Tor and Tannhaus Berlin Mitte-Wedding, the individual consumption of water, heat and electricity is included as an operating costs flat rate.

    At Tannhaus Berlin Rix Neukölln, the operating costs flat rate is also applied to rental agreements with a maximum length of stay of 6 months.

    For lease agreements with a duration longer than 6 months, an individual consumption cost settlement takes place at Tannhaus Berlin Rix Neukölln. Property-related service charges are continued to be settled and paid as a flat rate. For the consumption-related ancillary costs (heat, water, electricity), you do a monthly pre-payment and will receive your individual statement from us no later than 8 weeks after moving out. Thanks to our Tannhaus Mobile App, you can keep an eye on your individual consumption at all times during your stay. By built-in smart meters in the apartments, you are able to check this data in your app on a daily basis. If you consume less, you will receive a corresponding credit back after your move out. Additional consumption will be billed accordingly.
