General terms of business and fees 1. If the customer finds accommodation as a result of accommodation
agency activities - be this through written or verbal agreement with
the landlord or lessor - the customer is obliged to inform the
accommodation agency immediately of this and to pay the agreed agency
fee in its entirety as specified below. This shall also apply even if
the customer has not yet moved into the new accommodation.
2. The customer himself must make contact and the necessary
agreements with the landlord or lessor. The accommodation agency shall
provide no guarantee for the existence of sub-let authorisations or
any other permits which may be necessary.
3. The customer is obliged to similarly inform the accommodation
agency if no rental relationship or rental agreement has come about or
the agency agreement is no longer applicable for any other reason. In
the event of a rental relationship not coming about, the customer has
the option of receiving new offers from the accommodation agency or of
cancelling the agreement.
4. In the event of the agency agreement being terminated by the
customer he declares that the offers received did not lead to letting
and that in future he shall refrain from making any further use of the
addresses provided.
5. The customer undertakes to refrain from passing on to third
parties the offers received from the accommodation agency. If the
customer infringes this obligation he shall be liable to pay to the
accommodation agency the entire agency fee.
6. Every rental agreement between customer and lessor or landlord
shall be subject to a fee, even if the person seeking accommodation
has received the address of accommodation from elsewhere or if the
customer is offered different accommodation by the same lessor which
has not been named by the accommodation agency.
7. The customer is aware that the full agency fee specified below
is due if, as a result of agency activities, an agreement is made with
a lessor and/or the customer moves into one of the houses named to him
by the accommodation agency.
8. The person seeking accommodation shall receive a copy of this
agency agreement after transfer and shall get in touch immediately
with the local accommodation agency. The work of the transferring
accommodation agency shall thus be complete.
9. The accommodation agency shall not under any circumstances be
liable for the failure to arrange accommodation.
10. Amendments and supplements to the agreement shall only be valid
if made in writing.
11. An extension of the rental term/term of use shall be subject to
a subsequent calculation. The accommodation agency shall be entitled
to view every extendable rental relationship as a time-limited rental
agreement.
12. Venue: Bonn
13. Agency fees:
The agency fee shall be 195% of the contractually agreed monthly
rent plus statutory value-added tax. Auxiliary expenses which are to
be charged separately shall not be taken into consideration in the
calculation of the monthly rent.
Payment of fees:
In the case of open-end rental agreements the agency fee shall fall
due when the rental agreement is concluded. In the case of rental
agreements limited in time, the agency fee shall fall due as follows.

payable upon conclusion of the rental agreement.
If the use of the rented accommodation is continued or the rental
relationship extended beyond the agreed term the remaining fee shall
fall due in further instalments commensurate with the percentage
amount of difference according to the above table.
If the use of the rented accommodation ends before 10 months the
agency fee shall be reduced to the percentage amount corresponding to
the actual contractual term, but under no circumstance shall fall
below the amount of the fee instalments which have already fallen due.
In cases in which the actual duration of use deviates from the
contractual term, the longer term shall be decisive for the
calculation.
14. In the event of a provision of this agreement being or becoming
legally ineffective in whole or in part, this shall not affect the
validity of the remaining agreement. In this case the agreement is to
be executed as both parties intended.
