Home and the building

Finding a flat, filling it, keeping it and living beside other people in it.

Was diese Listen zusammenhält

German housing has a vocabulary of its own that no general course covers, because much of it is legal rather than domestic: die Nebenkosten, die Kaution, die Hausordnung, die Kehrwoche. The lists here run from the first flat viewing through the move to the repair that has to be reported to the landlord, and they are the ones a newcomer needs soonest and finds written down least.
