Your rent will always be taken from your account on the 8th day of the month.

Please check our email “SEPA Ankündigung - Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern” [SEPA pre-notification – Studierendenwerk] to find out when the first rent payment will be withdrawn. You will receive this email by the 3rd day of the month.

The deposit is usually withdrawn 20 days after you receive the email “SEPA Ankündigung - Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern”.

If your rent cannot be withdrawn as stipulated, e.g. because there is not enough money on your account, it is possible to defer payment. Should this be the case, please get in touch with us by the 3rd day of the ongoing month, by email or phone. Please also let us know on what date you would like the rent to be withdrawn instead.

As per your tenancy agreement, your monthly rent includes an advance payment for utilities. This advance payment can ultimately result in an overpayment or in your having to make an additional payment. For this reason, 150.00 euros from your deposit are retained until the next “Betriebskostenabrechnung” (settlement of utilities), provided it has not yet been drawn up.

This does not apply for tenancy agreements with a fixed charge for utilities.

Provided there was no damage found after you handed over your accommodation unit and there are no outstanding debts, you will receive the remaining 150.00 euros of your deposit after the final “Betriebskostenabrechnung” has been settled.

The calculation period usually goes from 01.10.XXXX until 30.09.XXXX. The final calculation of utilities depends on when you move out.

That means:

Overpayment and end of tenancy agreement 30.09. or before
Your balance as well as the retained deposit will be transferred onto the account last used by us within 8 weeks after you have received your final “Betriebskostenabrechnung”.

Additional payment necessary and end of tenancy agreement 30.09 or before
We will deduct the amount of the additional payment from the retained deposit and will transfer the difference onto the account you last provided.

Should the additional payment be higher than the retained deposit, we ask you to transfer the difference onto our bank account within two weeks. You will find our bank details on the “Betriebskostenabrechnung”.

Overpayment and end of tenancy agreement after 30.09.
150.00 euros of your deposit will be retained until the next “Betriebskostenabrechnung” is drawn up. The amount will be transferred, along with your balance, in the second quarter of the year following the calculation period onto the account last used by us.

The calculation period usually goes from 01.10.XXXX until 30.09.XXXX.

For instance, if your tenancy agreement ends on 30.09.2022, the remainder of your deposit will be refunded in spring/summer 2023. If your tenancy agreement ends on 31.10.2022, the remainder of your deposit will be refunded in spring/summer 2024.

Additional payment necessary and end of tenancy agreement after 30.09

150.00 euros of your deposit will be retained until the next “Betriebskostenabrechnung” is drawn up. We ask you to transfer the additional payment within two weeks onto our bank account. You will find our bank details on the “Betriebskostenabrechnung”.

You will be emailed your “Betriebskostenabrechnung” in the summer following the end of the calculation period. Therefore, please regularly check the email account you provided in your tenancy agreement as well as its spam folder.

Please email us your objection including your reasons within six months after receiving your “Kautionsabrechnung”. We will then get in touch with you.
