THE FLEG CONCEPT

Welcome to FLEG — Furnished Lodging Easy Going.

FLEG is a personally managed shared-living concept comprising several furnished shared apartments under one roof, primarily for younger professionals, interns, trainees, researchers and international students coming to Frankfurt for a limited but meaningful period of time.

The idea is simple: you have the privacy of your own lockable room while sharing the kitchen, bathroom and other common areas with two flatmates.

The atmosphere is international, relaxed and respectful. Some residents simply want a practical place to live; others enjoy a little more social interaction. Both are perfectly fine.

What matters is mutual consideration, cleanliness and reliable communication.

The house dates from 1897 and has been in my family since the early 1950s.

ROOM

This compact but comfortable private room is located on the second floor of the building and measures approx. 11 m2.

The high ceiling gives it a more spacious feel than the floor area alone might suggest.

The room faces northwest and has an insulated window that provides good protection from ordinary street noise when closed while also improving thermal insulation during the colder months.

The room is furnished and fully lockable.

Please note that some of the photos currently shown may depict the corresponding room one floor below. That room has exactly the same dimensions and very similar furnishings and therefore provides a good impression of the room offered here.

Updated photographs of the actual room will be provided as soon as available.

APARTMENT

The approx. 70 m2 apartment is shared by three residents in total.

It includes:

• daylight bathroom with shower
• separate toilet
• shared fitted kitchen
• large fridge/freezer with three separate freezer drawers — one for each resident
• individual food-storage space
• microwave
• kettle
• washing machine
• separate tumble dryer
• basic kitchen and household equipment

Pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and various cooking utensils are normally available for shared use. Individual household items may occasionally be replaced or changed and are therefore not guaranteed as part of the rented property.

Residents remain responsible for keeping the apartment reasonably clean and tidy in everyday use.

Weekly maintenance cleaning of the shared areas is provided as an additional service but does not replace the residents' own responsibility for normal everyday cleanliness.

Use of the table and chairs in the courtyard may occasionally be possible by arrangement. The private garden itself is not part of the rental.

LOCATION — CLOSE TO THE MAIN, CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

One of the strongest features of the apartment is its location.

The River Main and its riverside paths are only a short walk away — ideal for walking, running, cycling or simply taking the more scenic route into the city centre.

Frankfurt Central Station is around a 5-minute walk away, providing excellent local, regional and long-distance connections.

Importantly, however, the immediate surroundings have a much more residential character than many people might expect from such a central location.

Esslinger Straße is an established and lively neighbourhood with people of different ages, professions and cultural backgrounds living side by side.

This combination is what makes the location rather special: you benefit from being extremely close to one of Germany's major transport hubs without feeling as though you live next to one.

The city centre is easily reached on foot, by bicycle, e-scooter or public transport.

Despite the very central location, the street and apartment are generally surprisingly quiet.

PREFERRED STAY, INITIAL BOOKING & FLEXIBILITY

An intended overall rental period of at least six months is preferred.

For longer intended stays, an initial booking of one month through HousingAnywhere is preferred.

This keeps the initial arrangement straightforward and gives the tenant an opportunity to see during the first days whether the room, apartment and shared-living arrangement feel right in practice.

The HousingAnywhere booking establishes the rental agreement for this initial period.

During the first week after move-in, landlord and tenant should agree on whether and for how long the tenancy is to continue.

If both sides wish to continue as originally intended, a longer fixed rental period can then be agreed. Depending on the overall duration, the tenancy may either continue on the basis of the conditions set out in this listing or be documented in a separate written rental agreement.

If the tenant decides during the initial one-month period not to continue, moving out after that first month remains possible. The rental price will then be adjusted to the rate applicable to the actual overall rental duration, as explained under COSTS IN DETAIL.

After any subsequently agreed fixed rental period has expired, the following standard notice arrangement applies:

Notice can be given at any time up to and including the 15th of a calendar month, effective at the end of the following calendar month.

Any different individual arrangement agreed between landlord and tenant in writing takes precedence over this general wording.

COSTS IN DETAIL

◇ RENTAL-DURATION RATES

The base monthly flat-rate rent shown in the listing is:

€590/month

This is the rate for an overall rental period of six months or longer.

For shorter stays, a rental-duration surcharge applies:

• Less than 3 months: +14%
Rounded down in the tenant's favour to €80, resulting in €670/month

• At least 3 months but less than 6 months: +9%
Rounded down in the tenant's favour to €50, resulting in €640/month

• 6 months or longer: €590/month
No rental-duration surcharge

The rental-duration surcharge is calculated only on the €590 base rent.

Heating and maintenance-cleaning charges are separate and are not included in the percentage calculation.

The applicable rental rate is determined by the actual overall duration of the tenancy, even where only the first month is initially booked through HousingAnywhere.

If a stay originally intended to last longer ends after the initial month, the applicable rate is therefore adjusted according to the actual overall rental duration.

◇ INCLUDED IN THE RENT

The flat-rate rent includes:

• electricity
• gas
• water
• standard building operating costs
• cleaning of the staircase, entrance area and shared waste-disposal areas
• German public broadcasting contribution (ARD/ZDF/Deutschlandradio)
• Wi-Fi

◇ HEATING PERIOD

From 1 October to 15 May, a heating surcharge of:

€40/month

normally applies.

This amount is intended to cover normal and considerate residential heating use.

Only in exceptional cases of clearly excessive and avoidable energy consumption may the surcharge be increased, up to a maximum of €70/month.

Before any increase is applied, the tenant will be informed and given a reasonable opportunity to adjust their energy use.

◇ SHARED-AREA MAINTENANCE CLEANING

The shared areas of the apartment are professionally cleaned once a week.

The charge is:

€30/month

This maintenance cleaning complements, but does not replace, the residents' responsibility for keeping the shared areas reasonably clean and tidy in everyday use.

There is no general administration fee.

INTERNET & HOME OFFICE

Wi-Fi is available upon move-in and is provided free of charge.

The connection is generally suitable for normal residential internet use and occasional home office.

Internet access is provided as an additional convenience rather than as a separately guaranteed contractual service. The landlord therefore cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, a particular speed or freedom from technical interruptions outside the landlord's reasonable control.

If you expect to work from home regularly or have particularly demanding internet requirements, please mention this before booking so that we can discuss whether the existing arrangement will meet your needs.

Where necessary, an individual internet solution may also be arranged by the tenant at their own expense.

HOUSE RULES

◇ STRICTLY SMOKE-FREE

This is a strictly smoke-free apartment and building.

The rule applies to:

• your private room
• all shared areas of the apartment
• the staircase and other common areas of the building
• the courtyard
• smoking at or through open windows

This strict approach is intentional.

Even occasional smoking inside a private room can affect other residents, as smoke and odours can enter shared areas when doors are opened. For genuine non-smokers, even relatively small amounts of tobacco smoke can significantly affect the comfort of shared living.

For that reason, the rule must be observed consistently.

A verified breach of the smoking prohibition may result in a contractual charge of up to 50% of the monthly flat-rate rent.

Depending on the seriousness of the breach, additional claims may also arise for actual damage, additional cleaning, odour removal or other costs caused.

Repeated or serious violations may also have consequences for the continuation of the tenancy where legally permissible.

Tenants are responsible for ensuring that their guests observe the same smoking rules.

If you are unable or unwilling to accept this condition, please do not book the room.

◇ SHARED LIVING

A pleasant shared apartment depends on mutual consideration.

Residents are expected to:

• keep shared areas reasonably clean and tidy
• use kitchen and bathroom facilities responsibly
• respect the privacy and daily routines of their flatmates
• avoid excessive noise, particularly at night
• communicate with one another when practical issues arise

Comfortable and sociable living is absolutely fine — parties belong outside.

The apartment, staircase and courtyard are not party spaces.

◇ ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The flat-rate rent assumes normal residential electricity consumption.

Additional appliances with unusually high power consumption should therefore be discussed with the landlord before being installed or used on a regular basis.

FINAL MONTH'S RENT

The security deposit is not a substitute for the final month's rent.

The final month's rent must be paid in full and on time, just like every other monthly payment.

The tenant may not withhold the final rent, in whole or in part, on the assumption that it can simply be deducted from the security deposit.

After the tenancy has ended, the room has been returned and all keys have been handed back, the deposit will be settled separately against any legitimate outstanding claims.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

For a one-month rental, the security deposit is €500.

For longer stays, the security deposit shown separately in the listing applies.
For longer stays, a suitable bank guarantee may also be accepted by prior agreement.

The deposit serves as security for legitimate claims arising from the tenancy, including outstanding rent or damage.

Provided that the room has been properly returned, all keys have been handed back, all payments have been settled and no justified claims remain outstanding, the deposit is normally returned promptly, usually within a few days after the tenancy has ended.

PHOTOS & FURNISHINGS

The photos are intended to provide an accurate impression of the room and apartment.

As individual furnishings and household items may occasionally be renewed or replaced, individual items shown in photographs may differ slightly from those present at the time of move-in.

Any replacement will naturally be of a comparable type and standard.

As noted above, some current photographs may show the corresponding room one floor below, which has the same dimensions and very similar furnishings. Updated photos of the actual room will be added as soon as available.
