2. With pen and paper at our office
Just book an appointment and come and sign the agreement at our office. If your spouse or significant other can’t come and sign it with you, remember to bring their mandate with you so that you can sign the agreement for them as well.
Also remember to bring along the following:
• Identification card (driver’s license or passport)

The signature of the rental contract is conditional on the submission of any attachments. Those must be submitted to us before the contract can be signed. The attachments must be submitted within three days of the acceptance of the offer. Some of our apartments are free of restrictions and do not require income or wealth attachments from appliers. We will always ask you separately for the attachments we require unless they have already been submitted with the housing application
Please note that valid home insurance is required before signing the agreement!
