Living happiness in sight: How to secure your dream apartment without an agent!
While Hamburg continues to shine as a vibrant center for those interested in real estate, there are some important information that potential renters and buyers should keep in mind. We are currently looking for an apartment with floor heating and gas as an energy source, which poses some clear requirements for interested parties. [Wohnglueck] reports that future tenants must state their names, the number of people moving in, their age, as well as their activities and income in the cover letter. A telephone number should not be missing either.
A viewing of the apartment can only be arranged after specific documents have been presented. This includes, among other things, a current Schufa report, a landlord's certificate from the previous landlord confirming regular rent payments, the last three certificates of earnings and a tenant's self-disclosure. An additional note: broker inquiries are undesirable. Unsolicited contact by brokers without the express consent of the recipient is even prohibited by law according to Section 7 of the UWG.
Important information for those interested
It is also important to note a few details about the platform that is advertising the apartment. OM, the operator, is neither a provider nor an agent of the property and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or legality of the information. However, if there are indications of possible legal violations, reports can be submitted and then examined.
In another, related topic, there are developments on the online marketplace Etsy that are relevant for small businesses and users in Germany. As [Etsy Community] reports, everyone who sends or receives goods will be affected by new regulations. This means that Etsy must provide users with complete addresses and tax information. These requirements are subject to the company's discretion, but users should always have their documents on hand so that they can respond quickly if necessary.
In addition, the forms that serve as confirmation from the tax office must be renewed every two years. It is the responsibility of electronic marketplaces to follow the rules and carry out appropriate evidence and controls.
Whether in the real estate market or in e-commerce, compliance with legal regulations and requirements is of great importance for everyone involved. So if you prepare well and have the necessary documents ready in good time, you have the best chance of doing a good deal and gaining a successful foothold in Hamburg or in online trading.
