When should I start looking for accommodation near EBC Hochschule Berlin?

Start early, because central Berlin fills up fast before each intake.

• EBC's main intakes fall in autumn and spring, so the best central listings go quickly beforehand.
• Booking two to three months ahead gives you the widest choice in Mitte, Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg.
• Reserving online before you arrive lets you sign from home and move straight into a furnished flat.

A search in spring or early summer is the calmest way to lock in a good room.

How does Spotahome verify properties and what happens if the apartment doesn't match the listing?

Every home goes through a listing verification process before it goes live, so the photos and details match the real property.

• If the flat doesn't match the listing when you arrive, report it within the first 24 hours.
• The Spotahome team then helps resolve it, by mediating with the landlord or arranging alternative accommodation.

It is a practical safety net when you are booking a home from abroad.

How much deposit do I have to pay? And when is it returned?

The deposit is set by each landlord, usually one or two months' rent.

• On listings tagged "Deposit protected", if the landlord fails to return it within three months of move-out and you met the contract terms, Spotahome refunds it to you directly.
• Many properties also come with no deposit at all, and you can filter for these in the search.

Check the listing before booking to see which option applies.

Do I need a guarantor to rent on Spotahome?

No, you do not need a local guarantor or a German payslip to book.

• To reserve, you usually only need your ID or passport, your acceptance letter or student or worker credentials, and a payment method.
• Once the landlord accepts your booking, they may request proof of solvency and a bank direct debit to finalise the contract.

Having these ready in advance keeps the last step quick and smooth.

What is included in the monthly rent? What is not?

The monthly rent always includes the rent itself, the property tax and the building service charges. Utilities (electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi) are included in many listings but not in all of them. In some properties a fixed monthly amount is applied instead. What's never included are personal items or food. Optional services like weekly cleaning or a parking space are usually paid separately. Always read each listing's description carefully to know exactly what each property covers.
