Vocabulary List This episode focuses on the "Hurdle Race" of the German rental market, providing practical terms for every step of the search: • Der unbefristete Mietvertrag: Open-ended rental contract. This is the standard in Germany and has no fixed end date. • Der Eigenbedarf: Personal need. A legal reason a landlord can use to terminate a lease because they or their family need to live in the flat. • Unmöbliert: Unfurnished. In Germany, this often means a completely empty space without a kitchen, stove, or even light bulbs. • Die Wohngemeinschaft (WG): Shared apartment. A popular and affordable option where you rent one room and share common areas like the kitchen and bathroom. • Die Kaltmiete vs. die Warmmiete: Cold rent vs. warm rent. Cold rent is the base price for the rooms; warm rent includes Nebenkosten (utilities like heating and water). • Die Nebenkostenabrechnung: Utility statement. An annual breakdown showing if you paid too much or too little in your monthly utility prepayments. • Der Wohnberechtigungsschein (WBS): Subsidised housing permit. A document for people with lower incomes that allows them to apply for significantly cheaper, state-subsidised flats. • Die Schufa-Auskunft: Credit report. A record of your financial reliability; without a positive report, finding a flat is nearly impossible. • Die Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung: Certificate of no rent arrears. A document from a previous landlord confirming you have no outstanding rent debts. • Die Wohnungsgeberbestätigung: Landlord’s confirmation. A mandatory form from the landlord used to complete your official city registration (Anmeldung). • Die Kaution: Security deposit. A safety payment (maximum of three months' cold rent) that must be kept in a separate account by the landlord. • Das Übergabeprotokoll: Handover protocol.
