Accommodation
Residential Lease Agreements
For those students living in a rented apartment, it is your own responsibility to make sure that you comply with the stipulations of the lease agreement and do not cause any trouble to your neighbors. It may be necessary to buy fire insurance when signing the lease. However, since you have already bought into the Student Insurance System, this may not be necessary. Please verify this point upon signing the agreement.
