We only accept one application per student (initial application). Any additional application will be deleted without further comment.
If you’ve already submitted an application and have a question regarding your application, you can get in touch with wohnen-bewerbung@stwm.de.

There can be several reasons for this; possible reasons might include:

b) You didn’t accept a binding accommodation offer or didn’t respond.
c) You didn't react to requests sent by the Online Application.
d) You cannot be contacted via the email address you provided.

We can check for you whether or not your application is still active. If you’d like us to do so, please send an email to: wohnen-bewerbung@stwm.de

No, unfortunately that’s not possible. Count with the approximate waiting periods stated on our website. The waiting periods are regularly updated. Due to lots of different influencing factors, it’s impossible for us to provide exact information.
Our up-to-date waiting periods for the individual halls of residence can be found here.

We can issue a document confirming that you’re on our waiting list. If you require this type of confirmation, please send an email to: wohnen-bewerbung@stwm.de

One semester lasts six months. It’s the period of time which you will approximately have to wait until you receive an accommodation offer. You can also convert the given waiting period into years, e.g. 4 semesters waiting period would be approx. 2 years after submitting your application.

No, they’re not. In general, free accommodation units are allocated according to the chronological order in which we receive the applications (waiting list). It’s irrelevant whether the free room is in the first, second or third hall that you chose in your application.

Yes, you can. However, it’s almost impossible for you to be offered a room via the Studierendenwerk. Check our waiting periods as well as the application requirements listed in the 1st and 2nd FAQ above. You can get in touch with the international office or the exchange coordinators of your university in Munich, Freising or Rosenheim.
Further information can be found on our website under International as well as in our Policy for Allocating Accommodation under Item 4.

As we only have a limited amount of accommodation available, we allocate our free rooms according to the chronological order in which we receive the applications (waiting list) as well as according to the latest allocation and funding policy. More detailed information can be found under Item 4 of our Policy for Allocating Accommodation.

Yes, that's possible, for instance, due to renovation works, opening of new halls as well as other reasons.
The waiting period which is stated for a hall of residence merely gives the approximate time span between submitting an application and receiving an accommodation offer.

No, unfortunately that’s not possible. You could merely look for a room as a subtenant, provided you’re enrolled at a university (no matter which one or where). However, the Studierendenwerk is not in charge of finding subtenants.

We advise you to contact your university right away (faculty, examination office) to talk about how to go on from here.

Due to the current corona regulations, opening communal areas is not possible at the moment. We hope that a relaxing of restrictions will soon be possible. Apart from this, a concept will have to be devised in order to ensure future procedures have a sound legal basis. This will require further talks between the hall’s self-administration and the Studierendenwerk.

Every former resident of House 13 can receive, if she or he wants to, one semester added to the maximum duration of their residency. It is not important if you have already lived with us as a resident for 12 semesters (6 years). It is a bonus semester you receive for having to move.

It is not yet clear whether House 13 in the StuSta will be partly renovated or completely. The tenants will therefore get their deposit back or it will be transferred to their new accommodation without their rooms having been officially inspected.

Yes, if you have not been staying in a hotel nor have moved into another room (moved directly) in one of our halls of residence, you will be credited or refunded that part of the rent.

We cannot answer that question at present. The first step will be to document and assess the damage. After that, we will be able to judge if the house can be re-inhabited after the fire damage has been repaired or if it would make more sense to carry out a complete renovation.

Certain expenses, such as medication, seeing a doctor, ambulance services or therapy are refunded.
For this purpose, please contact our Service Desk (wohnen@stwm.de). We will then send you a form, which you have to fill in and send back to us.

In general, liability coverage for private property brought into the living quarters must be taken out through a household contents insurance policy (e.g. through your parents or yourself), which is to be used in the event of damage.

If you have further questions, please contact our Service Desk, if possible, by email: wohnen@stwm.de

Any questions concerning your accommodation should be, as usual, directed to your hall’s administration. If you live in the Studentenstadt, please send an email to: wohnen-team2@stwm.de.

Due to corona regulations, the reading rooms (including the ones in the Staatsbibliothek) are closed. We do not know for how long this will be the case. At the moment, the only possibility to study is probably at home.

Please arrange an appointment with our employees of the technical department. The best way would be to write an email to wohnen-technik@stwm.de or give them a ring during the opening hours.

Phone opening hours:
Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

At the moment, no residents of the Studentenstadt’s House 12 have to move. Residents in our other halls of residence do not have to move either. When students move out of rooms in House 12, these rooms are going to remain vacant so that possible necessary short-notice renovation works can be carried out with as much flexibility as possible. We will possibly also choose this method for other upcoming renovations. The advantage of this procedure is that as few residents as possible have to move but that we are still flexible with regard to necessary renovations.

Basically, we have been planning for some time now to carry out extensive renovations in large parts of the Studentenstadt. Negotiations are being carried out with the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Building and Transport with regard to financing. At first, we are going to focus on Houses 9 and 12.
In order to be able to carry out renovations - or partial renovations - we had first decided that when students move out of their rooms in Houses 9 and 12, these rooms were to remain vacant. The concrete renovation concepts are currently being devised. Carrying out extensive renovations would be sheer impossible in a fully inhabited building. So far as it is possible, this gradual procedure is to prevent our current residents from having to move unnecessarily.
After a further inspection of House 9 and the resulting outcome, we will unfortunately not be able to proceed according to our initially planned approach (in House 9). We are sorry to say that it will not be possible to carry out the necessary renovations on this building if it is partly inhabited. For this reason, there is unfortunately no other alternative than all residents of House 9 having to move by the end of September 2021.

No, the cost for the firewatch will not affect our students’ rent.

A firewatch team consists of two security employees and is a form of organizational fire protection. Engaging a firewatch is a mere precautionary measure. In the case of a fire, it ensures that the fire brigade is alerted earlier and the students are made aware of the danger more quickly.

Because of the fire disaster on 16.02.2021, the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern is going to have its entire real estate thoroughly re-examined in regard to fire safety. The City of Munich’s Fire Department irregularly carries out fire safety inspections, known as a “Feuerbeschau”. The defects discovered are then immediately remedied by technical personnel. Last autumn, the Feuerbeschau took place in the Studentenstadt for the Houses 9 and 12. The defects discovered were remedied. Because of the fact that these two buildings were constructed at the same time as House 13, they are being re-examined. In general, inspections are always only a snapshot. Since the buildings are also subject to constant change due to being inhabited, the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern will have an additional inspection carried out as a precaution.

The firewatch teams that were organized by the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern are employees of a security service, whose job it is to ensure the halls are safe and to immediately call the fire brigade in the case of a fire. We organized this additional service as our halls’ caretakers have other tasks to carry out and cannot continuously inspect the houses.

The fire severely damaged important supplies which are located in the basement of the house. Due to this damage, the house cannot be inhabited at the moment.

The investigations of the police are still going on. The cause of the fire is still unknown. The Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern has not received any additional information from the investigating authorities even upon enquiry. Due to the ongoing investigations, we are not going to comment on any statements to the contrary in the media and are not going to make any statements with regard to possible causes of the fire. We are cooperating with the authorities in charge and are doing everything in our power so that the situation is clarified as quickly as possible.

In all probability, the renovation works will begin in 2022. The renovation’s planning stage has already begun.

It is a challenge to organize for nearly 600 residents to move to other halls of residence within merely a couple of months. We therefore have to plan up ahead. For this reason, we will already start preparing the moves in October 2021.

Carrying out planned renovation works on old buildings cannot be avoided. This long-term investment in safety but also in ecology makes it possible in the long run to still be able to offer modern accommodation for students.

As all the tenancy agreements will expire at the latest by 31.03.22 and the fact that the building will be closed down has been known for a long time, no additional extension of residency can be granted.

The deposit which has already been paid for the single apartment in House 12 will be transferred to the new accommodation. Please be aware of the fact that there could be deductions, if e.g. keys or furniture are missing or damaged.

The reason for deciding that all residents of House 9 have to move is due to it not being possible to renovate House 9 bit by bit. This has been clear since the inspection that was carried out by an expert on 12.04.2021. Approx. 600 students are currently living in House 9 and it would not be possible for all of them to move to a different apartment within a short period of time. Planning ahead is absolutely necessary and that is why we have to start already in June.

In all probability, the renovation will be started in the fourth quarter of 2021. The renovation’s planning stage has already begun.

At the moment, we can only make a rough estimate for how long House 9 will be uninhabited. The period of time is somewhere between 9 months in the case of partial renovations and several years in the case of a complete renovation.

It is already a challenge to organize for 600 residents to move to other halls of residence within merely a couple on months. We are forced to plan ahead, which is why it is unavoidable to start organizing the moves already in April.

It can take up to 6 months until the result of the official public position/approval is known. We cannot wait for that long because, in the worst case, roughly 600 residents would have to move within a very short period of time, which would be sheer impossible at the beginning of the winter semester.

The Studierendenwerk is extremely sorry that due to the loss of more than 600 rooms the situation regarding the waiting list still cannot be eased to a great extent. The necessity of carrying out necessary construction work nonetheless still remains, even if these measures will temporarily affect the waiting list in a negative way.

It is already certain that there definitely will be construction work that cannot be carried out if the building is partly inhabited. Only after the renovations have been completed, can the building be inhabited again.

The deposit which has already been paid for the single apartment in House 9 will be transferred completely to the new accommodation; no deductions will be made.

If there already is a new tenant for your room, you cannot remain living there, as this new tenant has already signed the tenancy agreement.

It is possible that other rooms in the halls of residence are still vacant, at the moment, due to other students terminating their agreements. We cannot, however, guarantee that there will be something free starting in connection. Please ring or email our administrative office.

No. In this situation, no student union would expect you to move out. The tenant’s right to physical integrity has priority over the landlord’s/landlady’s interest in having the tenant move out. Due to the fact that everyone is asked to show solidarity and drastically reduce their personal contacts, the tenant cannot be expected to move out - also for the reason of protecting others.

By the way, this also applies to other flats or shared flats in general.

Of course you can travel back home. As a Service Package student, the first important thing to do is to get in touch with your university to settle if it is possible for you to travel back at an earlier stage. After that, please contact our administration in order to clarify further details concerning your tenancy agreement.

Normally no, the terms stipulated in the contract concerning termination are still valid. In this case you should, however, contact the administration immediately, so that, we can together find a solution.

In the current situation, you do not need to worry about your tenancy agreement being terminated for this reason. But please contact our Rent Accounts Department immediately so that you don’t miss important deadlines!

Please email (mieten@stwm.de) the Rent Accounts Department.

Normally, there is the possibility of deferring your rent. Furthermore, there might be the possibility of applying for “Wohngeld” or BAföG. Together we will find a solution.

Yes, the tenancy agreement is still valid.

In most cases, terminating it without notice is not possible. The terms stipulated in the contract concerning termination are still valid. In this case, however, you should also contact our administration immediately, in order to find a solution for terminating the contract at an earlier stage.

Terminating your tenancy agreement is not possible just like that. Please contact - preferably by email - our administration, so that, we can together find a solution.

If you are planning to return home, please contact your German university up ahead. Should you be living in one of our halls of residence, please also contact our administrative offices.

The Federal Foreign Office provides up-to-date information about travelling and safety:

You can also get information at your country’s embassy/consulate in Germany:
www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/ReiseUndSicherheit/vertretungen-anderer-staaten

No. The fact that someone else contracted COVID-19 does not mean that there is a defect in your living quarters, and thus, you cannot reduce your rent.

Please understand that it is not possible to extend your residency due to the current special situation. In special cases of hardship, however, we will decide individually.

As a tenant of the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern you do not have the right, despite the unusual situation at the moment, to terminate the contract using the “Special Right of Termination”.
The “Special Right of Termination” is only valid for the 30th of September of each year (3 months notice). There is, however, the possibility of terminating the contract early. In this case, please contact the administration.

Please contact us before collecting your keys if there are any signs of you being sick. By telling us up ahead you will be protecting yourself and others. Together we will find a solution!

Yes, students can move in as planned.

Should there be any changes, we will let you know.

Please pay attention to the current regulations for people who were tested positive: https://www.stmgp.bayern.de/coronavirus/haeufig-gestellte-fragen

It’s very important that you make sure to tell the people you are living with as soon as possible. That's the only way they can react appropriately to this situation. Our experience has shown that, especially in shared flats, the residents show solidarity and help each other, for instance, by doing errands. In shared flats, cleanliness and hygiene are especially important at the moment. We would also advise you to set up a schedule in your shared flat for using the shower and kitchen, in order to avoid unnecessary contact.

Should you have any more questions, you can also contact the service line of the Bavarian government: +49 89 122220

As per your tenancy agreement, your monthly rent includes an advance payment for utilities. This advance payment can ultimately result in an overpayment or in your having to make an additional payment. For this reason, 150.00 euros from your deposit are retained until the next “Betriebskostenabrechnung” (settlement of utilities), provided it has not yet been drawn up.

This does not apply for tenancy agreements with a fixed charge for utilities.

Provided there was no damage found after you handed over your accommodation unit and there are no outstanding debts, you will receive the remaining 150.00 euros of your deposit after the final “Betriebskostenabrechnung” has been settled.

The calculation period usually goes from 01.10.XXXX until 30.09.XXXX. The final calculation of utilities depends on when you move out.

That means:

Overpayment and end of tenancy agreement 30.09. or before
Your balance as well as the retained deposit will be transferred onto the account last used by us within 8 weeks after you have received your final “Betriebskostenabrechnung”.

Additional payment necessary and end of tenancy agreement 30.09 or before
We will deduct the amount of the additional payment from the retained deposit and will transfer the difference onto the account you last provided.

Should the additional payment be higher than the retained deposit, we ask you to transfer the difference onto our bank account within two weeks. You will find our bank details on the “Betriebskostenabrechnung”.

Overpayment and end of tenancy agreement after 30.09.
150.00 euros of your deposit will be retained until the next “Betriebskostenabrechnung” is drawn up. The amount will be transferred, along with your balance, in the second quarter of the year following the calculation period onto the account last used by us.

The calculation period usually goes from 01.10.XXXX until 30.09.XXXX.

For instance, if your tenancy agreement ends on 30.09.2022, the remainder of your deposit will be refunded in spring/summer 2023. If your tenancy agreement ends on 31.10.2022, the remainder of your deposit will be refunded in spring/summer 2024.

Additional payment necessary and end of tenancy agreement after 30.09

150.00 euros of your deposit will be retained until the next “Betriebskostenabrechnung” is drawn up. We ask you to transfer the additional payment within two weeks onto our bank account. You will find our bank details on the “Betriebskostenabrechnung”.

You will be emailed your “Betriebskostenabrechnung” in the summer following the end of the calculation period. Therefore, please regularly check the email account you provided in your tenancy agreement as well as its spam folder.

Please email us your objection including your reasons within six months after receiving your “Kautionsabrechnung”. We will then get in touch with you.

Sie kommen mit Datum Ihrer Bewerbung auf unsere Wartelisten und erhalten eine automatische Bestätigung über den Eingang Ihrer Bewerbung. Sollte es bei Prüfung der Unterlagen/der Bewerbung noch Unklarheiten geben, erhalten Sie diesbezüglich eine E-Mail von uns.

Achtung: Dies kann nach erfolgter Bewerbung bis zu 7 Tagen dauern.
Bitte überprüfen Sie ebenfalls unter „Mein Account“ (FAQs Wohnplatzbewerbung), ob es Probleme beim Hochladen Ihrer Dateien gab.
Insbesondere nach dem Hochladen Ihrer Immatrikulation zu jedem Semesterbeginn.

Freie Wohnplätze werden grundsätzlich nach der zeitlichen Reihenfolge des Eingangs der Bewerbungen vergeben (Warteliste). Um eine ausgewogene Bewohnerstruktur in den Studierendenwohnheimen sicherzustellen, wird bei der Wohnplatzvergabe mit Quoten und Kontingenten gearbeitet.
Das Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern behält sich vor, in Einzelfällen von der Warteliste abzuweichen, um die Schaffung und Er-
haltung sozial stabiler Wohnstrukturen sicherzustellen.

Genauere Informationen zu den Quoten, Kontingenten und der Zuteilung finden
Sie in der Richtlinie zur Wohnplatzvergabe unter Punkt 4.

In der Regel erfolgt ein Wohnplatzangebot ca. 3-8 Wochen vor geplantem Einzug in Form eines Festanschreibens.
Dieses wird per E-Mail übermittelt, gemeinsam mit dem Mietvertrag und weiteren Unterlagen (Zusatzvereinbarung, Widerrufsbelehrung) in PDF-Form. Wird das Angebot abgelehnt bzw. erfolgt darauf keine Rückmeldung, verfällt die Bewerbung. Der fristgerechte Eingang des unterschriebenen Mietvertrags sowie der von der Kontoinhaberin oder dem Kontoinhaber unterschriebenen Bankeinzugsermächtigung ist zwingende Voraussetzung und gilt als Annahme des Wohnplatzangebots. Bei Ablehnung oder keiner Rückmeldung auf das Wohnplatzangebot oder bei nicht fristgerechter Annahme erlischt die Bewerbung. Es kann sich erneut auf einen Wohnplatz beworben werden, jedoch nicht unter Anrechnung jedweder vorheriger Wartezeit.

Aufgrund der Besonderheiten des studentischen Wohnens, kann es zu kurzfristigen Wohnplatzangeboten ca. 1-2 Wochen vor geplantem Einzug kommen, die in Form eines Schnellanschreibens vergeben werden. In einem solchen Fall erfolgt das Wohnplatzangebot an mehrere Bewerberinnen und Bewerber, die Zusage erhält gemäß dem Prioritätsgrundsatz die erste Rückmeldung. Alle anderen Bewerberinnen und Bewerber behalten ihren Platz auf der Warteliste.
Bitte beachten Sie: Sofern Sie die Zusage (erste Rückmeldung) von uns in Form eines Mietvertrags erhalten haben, senden Sie uns
diesen bitte fristgerecht unterschrieben wieder zurück. Bei nicht fristgerechter Rücksendung erlischt die Bewerbung.
