Subletting

Would you like to sublet your room while you’re away? Here’s everything you need to know.

How Subletting Works

As a Pfaffenhof resident, you may sublet your room during extended absences, such as a semester abroad, an internship, or other breaks. Subletting is permitted only to enrolled students.

The entire process is handled by the VSSW.

Important Requirements

The sublessee must be a registered student (valid student ID required)
Documents must be submitted at least 14 days in advance
As the primary tenant, you remain fully responsible for the apartment
You will continue to pay rent to VSSW. You and the subtenant will work out the payment arrangements directly between yourselves.

Step-by-Step Process

1
Find a Subtenant
Your subtenant must be a registered student and provide a valid certificate of enrollment.
2
Prepare documents
The following are required: a completed sublease agreement, a copy of your lease agreement with VSSW, and the subtenant’s enrollment certificate. No security deposit is required, as the primary tenant’s liability statement is mandatory.
3
Submit to the VSSW
All documents must be submitted no later than 14 days before the start of the rental period. Only typed, non-protected documents will be accepted.
4
Move-In & Key Handover
Please arrange move-in, move-out, and key handover directly with your subtenant. The building managers will assist with inspection appointments.

Please send your completed documents to the following email address.
