Renting a flat
Hamburg has many different districts with good infrastructure in natural surroundings, and the area around our facility also offers nice living areas.
We will support you in finding accommodation in Hamburg or Schenefeld. For non-local employees hired from outside Germany with family we will contract our relocation partner, who is experienced in finding appropriate housing for you and your family. After having clarified your needs and wishes, she will visit a number of potential homes with you and consult you regarding price-performance ratio, among other aspects. Finally, she will also assist you in checking the rental agreement, which is usually written in German. While the relocation service and broker’s fee are covered by European XFEL, a security deposit has to be provided by you. If necessary, you can receive a loan from us for this effort. We recommend that you purchase private liability insurance for any damages to the home or apartment which might occur. The costs for such insurance amount to a few euro per month.
