Are you moving to Germany for work, for example as a nurse, IT specialist, engineer, or scientist? Or are you looking for a comfortable temporary solution for new team members? Zeitwohnen Rhein Ruhr arranges furnished apartments for several months or even years.
Why Zeitwohnen for International Skilled Workers?
With Zeitwohnen Rhein Ruhr, you can get started quickly and stress-free at your new place of work! Our furnished apartments are ready to move in – all you need to do is arrive, unpack, and start exploring the area. And best of all, our personal service is completely free of charge for tenants!
Our furnished apartments are fully equipped, from WiFi to washing machines. This means you don’t have to worry about finding a place to live and furnishing it from scratch. The contracts are usually intended for several months of rental period and often offer an option for extension, in case project plans or visa dates change. All apartments are thoroughly checked and verified, and we know the landlords personally.
We are familiar with the typical requirements of international professionals and their employers. SCHUFA credit scores or a German registration address are often an issue at the outset, and sometimes a landlord’s confirmation or rental cost coverage by the company is required. This is exactly where we provide support with verified listings, transparent communication, and suitable rentals that also allow for registration, depending on the apartment. We also make sure that the apartments are close to hospitals, campuses or company locations, and have good public transport connections so that everyday working life runs smoothly.
Tip: Please specify your place of work in your request! We are happy to suggest suitable residential areas with ideal commuting times and transport connections.
How Does Furnished Renting Work? A Step-by-Step Guide!
1. Start Early
Begin your search about 4-8 weeks before your desired move-in date. Our apartments in popular neighborhoods are in high demand! But even if you have a last-minute request, we are happy to help you find the perfect solution quickly.
2. Clarify Your Requirements
Single person or couple? Balcony, home office nook, parking space, pets, option to register (“Wohnungsgeberbest??tigung”)? Tell us your must-haves and nice-to-haves.
3. Provide Documents
The following documents will help speed up the rental process:
??? Passport/ID card
??? Employment contract/confirmation from employer (for corporate rentals: confirmation of rental costs)
??? Address & contact details
??? If required: visa/residence permit
The more complete the information, the faster the process.
4. View (in Person or Online) or Book Directly
We organize on-site or video viewings. International tenants in particular like to choose a so-called blind booking (“Blindbuchung”), where the apartment is rented directly on the basis of the detailed online expos??.
5. Contract & Moving in
Once the contract has been signed, our team or the landlord will hand over the keys to you, and you can move in and feel right at home!
