Private Housing & Flat sharing (WG)
If you prefer the serenity of your own home, looking for an apartment is the best choice for you. However, if you wish to become more fluent in German, you could also consider looking for a private room in a shared apartment. Commonly referred to as WG (Wohngemeinschaft), it is among the most common student living choices. Prices vary depending on the size and location of the flat and can range from €250 to €500. Popular quarters are Zentrum, Südvorstadt, Waldstraßenviertel, Schleußig, Plagwitz and Gohlis. You can look online for an apartment or a shared room by checking the following websites:

• wg-gesucht.de?(shared apartment search)
• immonet.de?(apartment search)
• immowelt.de?(apartment search)
• immobilienscout24.de?(apartment search)
• local newspapers: Leipziger Volkszeitung (LVZ) & Kreuzer

We recommend starting to look for private housing and WGs (shared accommodation) as soon as possible as there will be many students, from the other Leipzig universities too, looking for a place to live. Your chances of finding a place will increase if you respond to the most recently posted advertisements. Before signing a tenancy agreement, you might need the following documents such as your passport, the city registration document (Anmeldebestätigung), student ID, a bank statement and a credit report (SCHUFA). Unless otherwise stated in your rental contract, rent is usually due at the beginning of the month. In Germany, it is not common to provide your rent in cash, and most landlords will expect you to transfer rent directly into their bank accounts.

Do remember that private accommodation also involves you setting up any additional providers (such as TV and Internet), so you might want to opt for the all-inclusive option of Basecamp instead.

GEZ (Radio, TV, Internet Fee)
The Rundfunkbeitrag (GEZ) fee, a fee that must be paid in Germany since January 2013, is a radio, TV and Internet license fee and public service broadcasters are financed by it. The fee is €18.36 per month and must be paid for every apartment regardless of the number of devices that are being used or the number of residents living in the apartment. It must be paid even if you do not own a radio or TV. To pay the fee, you will have to get a license fee account which you can register for online at?www.rundfunkbeitrag.de.

Alternatively, once you have registered with the City of Leipzig you will receive a GEZ letter within a couple of weeks asking you to fill out the registration form and to send it back within a month. Failure to pay the fee can result in legal actions. Remember to deregister if you are planning to leave Germany after your studies.

Please note: This extra cost will also have to be paid if you decide to move into Basecamp accommodation. The colleagues in the accommodation will be able to assist you.
