Gardening, childcare, house-cleaning, doing something for society - according to the principle of “Wohnen für Hilfe”, students provide everyday support for their landlords and save some of their rental costs in the process.
Senior citizens, families and disabled people can take part, provided they have room for a cohabitant and wish to receive assistance with basic tasks. On the other hand, students are sought who are looking to reduce their living costs and to this end are willing to help their landlord with the agreed tasks.
Our role in this process is the free procurement of suitable cohabitants and providing assistance for you in the event of any questions or problems.
In order to participate, please complete an application form providing details about yourself, your desired type of dwelling and assistance offered. Forms can be obtained during office hours from the Seezeit Service Center and by arrangement.
“Wohnen für Hilfe” office hours
Mon 09.30 - 11.30
Weds 09.00 - 11.00
Interested parties are accepted from both sides. Students as well as landlords can register at the Seezeit Service Centre and find out about current offers. Seezeit acts as an intermediary here. This means: If we find a suitable landlord-tenant pair, we will establish contact. The legal framework is determined by the participants themselves, but Seezeit is available at all times to provide support and advice.
Reference guide: 1 hour of assistance = 1m² reduction in rental area. With an average price per square metre of approx. 10 euros, this means: 1 hour of assistance = 10 euros reduction in rental price.
Example:
A 30 square metre room is offered for 330 euros including heating. The required assistance is 12 hours per month. In this case, this means the following for the student: 330 euros - 120 euros = 210 euros rent including heating.
