1 Identity and Documentation

The name which is mentioned in the onboarding form should be according to your valid passport. If the name does not match the passport, Brandenbed Living Spaces UG reserves the right to redraft the tenancy agreement, and the tenant will be required to pay an administrative fee of 30 EUR (thirty euros).

Any discrepancy between the name on the form and your passport documents will trigger a mandatory amendment process before the tenancy contract can be finalised.

Tenants must provide valid and current identification documents including a passport, resident permit, or valid visa. Expired documents will not be accepted.

2 Tenancy Commencement

Once the onboarding form has been fully completed and submitted, and you have formally booked a bedspace, you are considered an official tenant of Brandenbed Living Spaces UG. All rights and obligations under these terms commence from the contract start date.

The minimum tenancy period is one (1) year from the contract start date. The contract end date will be automatically calculated accordingly and cannot be altered without mutual written agreement.

3 House Rules

As soon as you are our tenant, you are obligated to follow the house rules which are mentioned on the back of the main door of the apartment. In case the house rules are not available on the door, please contact our management team to receive a copy and follow those rules diligently.

4 Reporting of Damages

Any damages in the apartment must be reported to us within the first month of your tenancy. You should document and report all pre-existing damage or defects that you notice upon moving in.

After the completion of the first month, Brandenbed Living Spaces UG will not be liable for any damage or repairs that were not reported during the initial period. Unreported damages discovered at the end of the tenancy will be charged to the outgoing tenant.

Report damages in writing via email to our management or through the Brandenbed Tenant Desk on WhatsApp. Verbal reports will not be accepted as formal notifications.

5 Notice Period and Deposit

You are required to adhere strictly to the notice period as communicated to you in your tenancy agreement. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in the forfeiture of all or part of your security deposit.

The deposit will be withheld in the following circumstances:

Where the deposit is sufficient to cover outstanding amounts, the remainder will be returned to the tenant within 30 days of departure.

6 Wi-Fi and Amenities

Wi-Fi is provided as an amenity to all tenants. In the event of any technical problems or connectivity issues, Brandenbed Living Spaces UG is not liable or responsible for any disruption to the internet connection. We will make reasonable efforts to restore service, but do not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted Wi-Fi access.

Other shared amenities are provided on a best-effort basis. Brandenbed Living Spaces UG shall not be liable for temporary unavailability of shared amenities due to maintenance, technical faults, or circumstances beyond our control.

7 Property Cleanliness Inspections

Tenants are required to send photos either via the Brandenbed WhatsApp Tenant Desk or by email to allow us to inspect the status and cleanliness of the apartment. This inspection may be carried out by anyone present in the apartment; however, at least one occupant must send photos or a video of the entire property.

Inspections may be scheduled periodically and tenants will be given reasonable advance notice. Failure to cooperate with inspection requests may be treated as a breach of tenancy obligations.

8 Rent Payment and Late Fees 5 EUR/day late fee

Rent must be paid on or before the due date as specified in your tenancy agreement. You agree to pay a fine of 5 EUR (five euros) per day for each day that the rent remains unpaid beyond the due date.

Requests for direct payment must be acknowledged and processed only through official email communication. Bank transfer or direct payment requests made through unofficial channels should be verified before any payment is made.

9 Cosmetic Repairs and End-of-Tenancy Damages

In case of cosmetic repairs or damage discovered after the tenancy is completed, the following applies:

The cost of any repair service arranged by Brandenbed Living Spaces UG and invoiced by the service provider will be passed on directly to the responsible tenant(s). Tenants agree to pay such invoices promptly upon receipt.

The apartment is provided exclusively for residential use. It must not be used for commercial purposes, short-term subletting, or any activity that is illegal under German law or Berlin municipal regulations.

11 Subletting

Subletting of the rented bedspace or any part of the apartment is strictly prohibited without prior written consent from Brandenbed Living Spaces UG. Unauthorised subletting constitutes a material breach of the tenancy agreement and may result in immediate termination of the tenancy.

12 Guests and Visitors

Tenants may have occasional guests but must ensure that guests do not disturb other occupants. Overnight guests are permitted for a maximum of 3 consecutive nights. Extended stays by guests must be pre-approved in writing by management. Guests who reside in the apartment for more than 7 days in any calendar month may be required to be added to the tenancy agreement.
