kmc housing at us dot f dot no .
So please sign and date that you have
read and understand everything on this
form and then that you will send that
in along with the application we just
completed and a set of your orders .
That is what we need to complete your
application for housing . We will now
move into the information packet that
was sent to you . We'll discuss first
the PDS area , so customers need to
live in the PDS or permanent duty
station area in order to receive full
housing services . An air force to 91
Alfa rental agreement is required FMS
Onley delivers in the PDS area . So if
you look at this map , you'll see
Ramstein is in the middle . The red
dotted line that goes around the
outside is about an hour's drive in
every direction , so it's very large
area or to receive full housing
services , you need to live inside that
PDS area . The economy Fact Sheet
rental listings The site that the
Housing Office actively updates is home
stop mill . So if you are looking for a
housing approved house , you should be
looking on home stop mill . If you find
a house that is listed elsewhere , we
do suggest that you cross reference .
So , um , listings can be listed on
multiple sites soap . If you find it
elsewhere , open up home , Stop male
and see if it's on there as well . If
you're not sure if a home is inspected
or not , and you need it to be or you
would like it to be , you could also
just ask the landlord houses air
reinspected every five years So the
landlord should be able to tell you
when their last inspection was because
it should have been within the last
five years , so you can ask them that
question . They should be able to tell
you . Real estate agents , real estate
agents and Germany are called
Immobilien Him . A 1,000,000,000 can
charge a finder's fee of up to one
month's rent for using their services .
If you find a place on home , stop mill ,
Um , and you show up to the place and
there is an Immobilien there , you can
proceed . You are not on the hook for
the finder's fee if because the
landlord has asked that Immobilien toe
list the property on their behalf and
therefore the landlord needs to pay the
finders feet . Not you , the tenant .
However , if you're there and you don't
really like the place and the
Immobilien starts to say , Well , I
have a few others . Let's go look at
those before you proceed . Please stop
and ask the question of who is paying
the finder's fee for those rental
properties . Normally with a rental ,
the finder's fee should be covered by
the landlord who's listing the property .
But it is better to perceive and asked
these questions before you're on the
hook for a finder's fee that is not
reimbursable rental contracts . The
rental contract in Germany is a binding
agreement . A few things about that
First verbal agreements are legally
binding in Germany , so unless you
absolutely want to rent a house ,
please do not tell the landlord or
agree with the landlord that you're
going to rent the place . All right ,
Um too . We're going to ask that you
have the landlord fill out the contract
and have them sign it . We're gonna ask
you not to while we review it before
you sign it . Just because you haven't
signed it . It is still a binding
agreement between you and the landlord .
So as soon as you have one contract
that's filled out , stop house hunting .
If you end up getting to contracts ,
you're currently on the hook for two
months of rent for two different places .
We can't always get you out of one of
those contracts . So as soon as you
fill out one contract just because you
haven't signed it is still a binding
agreement between you and the landlords .
Only fill out one contract and then
you're done . Security deposits .
Security deposits in Germany are a
little different than they are in the
States . They could be anywhere between
one and three months . Rent normal is
about two months rent . It is a
completely separate payment that's paid
upon move in to the property and
actually must be kept in a separate
account . Um , and it can Onley be used
upon your move out to fix any damages ,
and the rest of it comes back to you .
If you find a place that is not
inspected by the housing or for office ,
and you would like it to be inspected ,
the landlord needs to call and ask the
and set up an appointment with the
Housing Referral Office to have the
house inspected . The their numbers are
listed here under the comment section
on this form . They're also on that
first page on the contact sheet , so
the landlord will need to call to set
up the inspection to get the house
inspected . Value added tax on 19%
taxes levied on all utility bills
except water , which is only 7% . Ah ,
program exists . You tap the utility
tax avoidance program so that for any
utility that you paid directly to the
company , you don't need to pay the tax
on that . Please consult your own
finance office about whether or not you
must enroll in you tap . Some civilians
are required to others are not . So
Please consult and make sure you are
enrolling . If you need Teoh there's a
$99 fee to enroll , and then you don't
pay the tax under utility about
discrimination . If you are
discriminated against during your
housing search at any point , please
let us know will open an investigation
and investigate thoroughly and then
take whatever action is warranted based
on the findings . So please let us know
and please know that we will follow up
and investigate . This is the safety
form to 91 Alfa or our rental agreement
you'll see in this big red circle .
This is the only part of the rental
agreement that you should fill out at
the moment . It's your name , your
grade , your D S N or your duty phone
and the organization you work for the
unit , the squadron , whoever that may
be . Then the landlord will fill out
the rest of it . You'll see the
landlord's name and address listed .
You'll see that next to the landlord's
name . We have a phone number . We do
call and verify with the landlord for
every contract that comes into our
office . So it would be a good idea to
just make sure that we're calling the
most up today an accurate number So ask
your landlord . The housing office will
probably be reaching out to you in the
next couple business days . What's the
best number for them to reach you
during that time ? You can annotate it
right there on the form , so we make
sure we're calling the best number to
reach your landlord . You'll see then
that the address that you would be rent
is listed as well as the size number of
bedrooms . Things like that . A couple
things to note . Um , it's very common
that the living space , maybe the
landlord doesn't know it off the top of
their head or their making an estimate .
If anything on this contract is left
blank or is maybe incorrect , we will
catch it and fix it as a part of the
review process and will make those
changes before we have . You sign it at
your appointment . So if anything ,
they're not sure about anything while
they're filling it out . It's okay to
just send it in . We will make sure
everything is filled , inaccurate .
Before you sign it , you'll see right
here . The rental period starts on ,
and there's a date listed here . This
day is very important This is the day
that you should be moving in . Please
make sure you're coordinating
appropriately along with your your
entitlements . To stay in the hotel .
Make sure that if you're authorized ,
overlap your within the window that
you're authorized and you are pairing
it with your deliveries and things like
that on . This date is normally when
you should owe your first month's rent ,
as well as the security deposit in full
and the next box . You'll see the
monthly rent rich in their 800 euros ,
for example , as well as the security
deposit of 1600 euros or two months
rent , which is pretty normal . The
utilities on the contract are written
out separately . Their two main ways
You pay your utilities . The first
example is that you pay the utility
directly to the company . You'll see in
this example that been both heating and
electricity . It says meter . This
means that you will set up an account
director of the company . These are the
utilities you can enroll in . You tap
with you . Do not pay the tax on either
of these utilities , and you'll pay the
company directly and reconcile directly
with the company . The second way you
pay your utilities is that you pay them
as an estimate to your landlord . You
can see that in both water , sewage ,
garbage disposal and other charges .
They're listed as monthly estimates
that will be paid to your landlord . In
addition to your rent , utilities and
Germany are calculated once a year , so
there's a bill that's normally
calculate at the end of the calendar
year . In the case of the company , the
company will count . Calculate your
bill and they will send it to you . If
you overpaid them , they will reimburse
you . If you have underpaid them and
you owe them , they'll send you a bill
and you'll need to pay it off . Works
the same with the landlord . The land .
However , the landlord will be sent to
Bill . So , for example , the landlord
will be sent the water bill , and the
landlord will show you that bill . If
you've paid in 500 euros for water and
the bills for 50 you will . Your
landlord will reimburse you 50 euros if
you've paid in 500 euros for water .
But the bill is 5 50 You will all your
landlord , 50 more euros so for any
utilities that you pay to the landlord .
You can see that their estimates E s t
you will be making sure that you should
reconcile those with your landlord
annually . You will also know that the
garage he is listed separately on the
contract . You should double check with
your finance office on whether garage
can be included in your rent . If it is ,
then they will just add the garage fee
to the rental listed above . So in this
case , it might the rent maybe 840
euros . You should talk with your
finance office about what is covered
under your lQ A . And what may not be
on the back of your contract is a list
where special conditions or your
landlord may filling on right some
things that they either want you to do
or not do to their house or some
special conditions that are related to
this contract . The first is that the
other charges on the front of the
contract in the utility section . Any
time there are other charges you must
list with those . Other charges are so
you'll see in this example . The other
charges are for chimney sweep and
heating maintenance . This'd is on
probably 90% of German contracts . It's
just that once a year company will come
in and check the heating system to make
sure it's safe . Inefficient on dure ,
just paying in a tiny bit a month . The
landlord should eventually give you a
bill that shows that the heating
company came and checked the heating
system and you reconcile based on how
much it was and how much you paid it .
This contract , as is , is month to
month , which means you can terminate
with 30 days notice in writing at any
time . The exception to that is if on
the back of the contract , it is
written that the rental period is
suspended for a year or one year lease
or any language like that . If that is
the case , that means you are entering
into a one year lease . That means
you're in there for at least one year
after the first year . The contract
automatically continues , and it just
becomes month to month . So you are in
there for at least one year , and then
until you give 30 days termination in
writing , then they may write things
they want you to do or not do to their
house . So pets allowed yes or no is
very common . Tenant takes care of the
yard garden , and sidewalk tenant is
responsible to remove snow and ice from
sidewalk . Whether this is on your
contractor , not this is legally your
responsibility . You must clear the
snow and ice from the sidewalk in front
of your property all throughout the
winter . If you are gone , if you go on
vacation or just a short trip and it
does snow just because you're not there ,
does that mean it's not your
responsibility ? So please make sure if
you are going to leave a neighbor ,
your landlord , a friend from work is
also I'm going to help take care of the
sidewalk in front of your property . If
somebody comes and falls and slips on
the ice and from your property because
you did not properly take care of it ,
you can be held responsible for some of
the medical bills , so please make sure
you're doing that , um , all winter ,
especially when you have someone to do
it when you're not occupying , see
attachment . If the landlord hands you
anything else . 1/3 page to the
contractor . Anything In addition to
just this original to 91 Alfa , please
send it to us as well . They should be
writing . See attachments . So we're
looking for 1/3 page . But if they give
you anything else , please send it to
us . It is considered a part of the
contract , and we need to review it as
well . Actually ,
you do need your landlords banking
information . Some landlords will write
it right on the contract . Others may
not . So if you are meeting with your
landlord and the banking information is
not on the contract , please take a
moment and ask them for it because most
likely in between this meeting and when
you're going to see them next , you
probably will need to transfer them
first month's rent and or the security
deposit in order to secure the least .
So please make sure that if it's not on
the contract , you are getting it from
your landlord . Then you'll see that
the landlord signs and we ask you not
to . Don't sign the rental agreement .
Keep the original because you will
bring the original to your appointment
here at the office . So keep the
original , but just scan it or take
pictures of it and send it to KMC
housing at us dot f dot mil . We will
review the contract and will reach back
out a sooner that's been approved , and
we'll set you up in appointment to come
in and certify it the Triple three Alfa
or premises condition and inventory
form . So this is a form that you're
going to fill out within 14 days of
moving into your property . You are
going to write down all the bumps ,
scrapes , holes in the wall , scratches
on the floor , anything that's there
that you did not do to the property .
You're gonna fill this out and as much
detail us as possible . And then you
and your landlord will sign inbox 18
the landlord to keep a copy of it . You
should keep a copy of it , and then you
can take pictures or scan it or drop it
off at our office so we can keep a copy
in your file as well . This means that
all three of us have ah copy of it ,
and upon your move out , you can walk
through with your landlord and anything
that's annotated on this form , you
should not be charged for . Um , you
will keep more of your security deposit ,
so please take time and make sure this
is as thorough as possible . If you
move into an exceptional a larger house ,
you'll see like we only have four
bedrooms on the back . If you move into
a larger house , it's OK to use two of
these , fill out one in its entirety
and fill out a 2nd 1 with just the
extra pieces that you may need if your
house is just it bigger . Okay , just
make sure that you and your landlord
sign both and obviously keep copies of
both . There is a remark section , so
anything that doesn't quite fit into a
box or needs a little extra description ,
please feel free to use the remark
section to be a little more specific
for anything that you might want to
write in there . Well , now go over
some key points that are in the week
here Brochure that was also sent to you
as a part of this briefing . So Page
nine , home ventilation . You need to
ventilate your home every day anywhere
for 20 to 30 minutes a day you need to
do this . Whether is 100 outside or
whether it's 10 . Outside the German
houses , air just built differently .
So what you're doing when you're
opening the windows is you're letting
all of the moisture out the windows .
If you do not let them out , that
moisture eventually goes into the walls .
And if moisture goes into the walls ,
mold grows . If mold grows in your
house and it is due toa lack of
ventilation , you are on the hook for
the mold removal , and it can be
expensive , so please make sure you are
doing this regularly . Open the windows
fully on base . Careful attention to
the rooms you use most often as well is
the rooms that are obviously a little
more human , such as the bathroom .
Anytime someone's in there , takes a
bath , takes a shower , make sure that
those , um , that windows open and you
ventilate the bathroom for a while and
really well after that , saying with
the kitchen you're in there . The
oven's on its hot pasta . Water's
boiling things like that , airing out
your kitchen very regularly or while
cooking is good as well . Page 11 Quiet
Hours . Germany has country . Why quiet
hours of every day from 10 PM to six AM
all day on Sundays , all day on German
holidays . And some towns also have a
kind of naptime afternoon hours from
1300 to 1500 . So
please make sure you're observing these
be kind to your neighbors and be
communicative to . If you're going to
have a party , simply let them know ,
knock on their door . Leave them a note .
Better yet , invite them as long as you
let them know they'll let you know ,
and you should have no problems with .
Just be courteous . Um , avoid doing
things on Sundays , such as mowing your
lawn . It's very loud . Don't do that
on Sunday , and you should have have no
problems . Page 13 Oil heating
Some houses in the area have oil
heating . There's just some ways that
you can save on oil heating , and we
just want to flag those for you in case
you do end up in a house that has oil
heating . So first things first ,
you're gonna be buying your oil in
theory once a year , oil is cheaper in
the summer than it is in the winter .
So do try toe by your oil in the summer ,
June , July , August . The prices will
be a little cheaper to you . Do have
the ability to use a vat form says
you're calling around and trying to get
quotes . Please make sure you're asking
if you can use a vat form . Um , so and
use of that form on the purchase ,
it'll save you a lot of money . Lastly ,
huh ? Some companies will do group
delivery . So if you have a neighbor ,
um , or some friends in the area that
lived nearby and you all have oil
heating , some companies will allow you
to group delivery . So they send out
one truck and make multiple deliveries .
Everyone gets their own receipt so you
can still use a VAT form associated
with your receipt . You only pay for
your portion of oil , but the delivery
fee was cheaper for everybody , so it
saves everybody money . So if you do
end up making friends with your
neighbours or knowing someone in local
area , that could be an option as well .
Page 15 the Tenant Protection Agency .
So you do have if you go through the
housing office with a to 91 Alfa you do
have the support of housing referral
for any small discrepancies or issues
that may arise between you and your
landlord , and sometimes the legal
office can help as well . However ,
there's only so much both those parties
can do So the Tenant Protection Agency
is a group of German lawyers but
specialize in tenant law . Last we knew
is about 100 euros a year . To be a
member , you do need to be a member for
three months before you can use their
services so you can't go and then
become a member . But there's
information there . If you would like
to find out more about it , if you
would like extra protection . Lastly ,
Page 18 is recycling . You are going to
recycle , like to start with the yellow
bag . Yellow backs are free . Please
ask your landlord where in the area you
may get your yellow bags so recycling
centers have them . Sometimes the
the companies will do deliveries . You
can actually request yellow bags , and
then they'll be delivered on a certain
day . Um , sometimes the local route
house or town hall has them . So ask
your landlord where you may find your
yellow bags in your area , but they
should be free on . And these are all
of your plot . Your path packaging . So
plastic tin cans . You know , the
plastic yogurt container and the foil
lead that's on top . Both would go in
here . Ah , Styrofoam kind of any
plastic packaging . A swell Aziz . You
know , tinfoil metal cans . All of that
will go into your yellow back ,
obviously rents out everything that was
food related . Um , give it a good
rinse out , wipe it out , and then put
it into the yellow . Bagila bags are
also free to pick up . So you can put
out 20 year old backs on yellow back
day and they will pick up every single
one . Then you have your bio . This is
your compost . So this is your food
scraps ? Eggshells , coffee grounds ,
carrot peels . All of that stuff will
end up going into your bio . The lawn
clippings from the line that you did
not know in Sunday . Also , we'll go in
your bio . Just make sure that whatever
you may be putting your food scraps and
is also biodegradable , So there are
some , like , bio bags you can get at
local stores . Um , that you can put
the food scraps in and put them in
there . Some people wrap it in
newspaper cause that will biodegrade .
Or you could just dump it right in
there and wash out the container you
use . But just make sure that
everything going in the bio bag ,
including anything that your food
scraps are in , is also biodegradable .
Then you've got your paper . This is
your cardboard . So all the old your
kids , old report cards , your junk
mail , um , old cardboard boxes from
all the online shopping you do , All of
those things will go into the paper bin .
Um , if you have a particularly large
box or you have extra cardboard , you
can break down the box and put it right
next to the bin . They will still pick
up cardboard . If it is a song as it is ,
clean car board next to it , they will
still pick up . So if it's a
particularly large box , you don't
necessarily need to shove it into your
been . You can leave it nicely set next
to your bin , and they will still pick
it up . Then you've got your glass .
You'll see here this thes glass
containers the white one is for clear
glass . The brown one is for brown
glass , and the green was for green and
anything else . If it's not clear and
it's not brown going in green , all
right , you will see these around
everywhere . You'll end up finding the
one that is closest to your house . So
you just look around for them and
you'll see the one that's closest .
You'll bring your glass to them and put
them right in . There are very on these
stickers on them . There are hours . It
is breaking glass . It is loud , so you
cannot use them at all hours of the day .
So , um , one just be courteous of that .
Some of them also have those afternoon
hours on them , so you shouldn't use
them between one and 3 p.m. And also
you cannot use them on Sundays . So
please make sure if you have a party on
Saturday , you're not returning your
glass on Sunday . Save it till Monday ,
then anything that doesn't fit into
these four categories , we'll end up in
your residual Been your residual been ?
Please don't be surprised if it is has ,
like off bottom halfway down just
because the can is is , you know , that
tall for the truck , not necessarily
for you to fill . I do . It would say
that if you use all the other
categories to the extent that you can ,
you will produce the least amount of
residual . Please make sure that your
residual been can close flat . If
you're shoving in a last been and
leaving it kind of open or leaving an
extra bag next to it that will not go
well , they will not necessarily pick
it up . So please make sure you're
using all the other categories to the
best of your ability . So you are
creating the least amount of residual
for returnable . So any true brink
beverage container that you buy off
base , whether it be metal , plastic or
glass , you probably played a bond on
it , and it is returnable for a deposit ,
so these deposits can be up to 25 cents ,
so it can add up very quickly . So
please make sure you're checking the
backs of the bottles a lot of four ,
Whether you paid a fun or whether
there's a symbol , it's ah , a tall
bottle with a big swooping arrow that
also means it is returnable . So put
those separately and then you can take
them back to the stores . Have the big
machines out front . You put them all
in it , spits out of receipt , and you
just bring it to the cashier and they
will give you the money back . But just
make sure you're looking for those
symbols on any kind of plastic metal or
glass container that you bought off
base . Since you'll be living off base ,
you cannot use the on base recycling or
trash facilities those air for on base
residents on Lee . So if you live off
base , which you will , you need to use
off based services . Um , most
categories , depending on the area ,
are only picked up once or twice a
month . If you do miss , assert in day
and you have extra , there are
recycling centers around . Um , so if
you miss Cardboard Day and you just
have too much cardboard , there are
recycling centers that you can find and
drive to , and normally you can drop
off things like cardboard and glass ,
and I think sometimes bio at these
recycling centres . If you didn't miss
your trash day , there are a couple APS
in the area so you can put an app on
your phone and you put in your address ,
and then it will notify you on your
trash days . So depending on where you
live , you may be able to find , um ,
the APP so that you don't miss your
trash day . Most trash schedules are
available . You can print it out , put
it on your fridge for the whole year so
you can put out the whole year of trash
schedule . Print it right out . So
making sure that you're not missing a
day . The other thing is as you're
driving home , if all your neighbors
have put out there by opens , go put
out your bio been too , because you
don't want to miss it because it may be
a while before they come back . This
