Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Simply fill out this tenant questionnaire and send it to: accommodation-service@fu-berlin.de

As soon as we have received your request with all your details, we can start looking for suitable accommodation options for you and hopefully forward you a suitable offer afterwards, if available.

We will then contact you immediately when we have received a confirmation from one of the landlords.


^{* However, due to the very limited contingent of accommodation, suitable accommodation can not be guaranteed. Available accommodations will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis and on a temporary basis.}

We are looking for furnished accommodation for incoming visiting scholars of Freie Universität Berlin.

If you would like to offer a room or an apartment, you are welcome to register your accommodation with us via this link:

Freie Universität Berlin does not have guesthouses.

The Accommodation Office arranges furnished accommodation options in Berlin for a temporary stay.

Guests of Freie Universität Berlin can also get a discount on their booking at some partner hotels.

Freie Universität Berlin offers this service free of charge.

However, successful accommodation placement cannot be guaranteed due to the tight housing situation in Berlin.

The landlords and landladies are responsible for the preparation and the content of the rental leases.

ERG Universitätsservice GmbH (Accommodation Service) acts as an intermediary between visiting scientists and landlords as a support service for scientists from abroad.

If you can imagine living in a shared apartment, I can recommend https://www.wg-gesucht.de/, www.wg-suche.de (with matching tool) and https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/ or different Facebook groups such as „WG Zimmer Berlin“. The best way would be to publish an advertisement yourself stating what you are looking for and describing yourself (hobbies, cooking abilities, etc.).

Unfortunately, among some housing providers there are also black sheep in the form of apartment scammers.
