I'm a simple emigrant, but not careless about important matters

One of them is renting housing. When I moved, I hadn’t yet known how long I would stay here, so my first apartment rental contract was for six months. Since it was a sublease (that is, the real contract was with the girl who lived there before me, and we only had one paper with the terms and our signatures), extending it to a year wasn’t hard — I simply wrote to her on Facebook that I would stay on. And at the same time, that is, more than six months before the end of the period, I should write to the actual landlord that I would like to sign a new contract. In housing matters it’s generally better to err on the safe side than end up on the street, and in Germany all the more so. Here, finding good apartments for the price/quality ratio is quite difficult: the city is popular, and even at inflated prices there is always demand. The main services where you can search for apartments or just see how much they cost: immobilienscout24.de and immowelt.de, and I also looked at Facebook groups (fb.com/groups/663712283817863/ and fb.com/groups/108075709886928/), but mostly there people look for roommates or rent out rooms, not whole apartments. But I found my option there :) #useful
