Upon allocation of a social rental property, thoroughly check the contract. Essential clauses: rent price (max. €808.06 for affordable), specification of service charges, notice period (1 month), indexation restrictions, and maintenance obligations. According to the Housing Act, no deposit may be requested exceeding €2 x monthly rent.
Refuse unreasonable conditions such as smoking bans or pet clauses without a statutory basis. Do not sign under pressure; you have a 14-day cooling-off period. In case of errors: Housing Committee for adjustment. This protects against future disputes. Combine with affordable allocation for a sustainable tenancy relationship.
