For rent: charming 1-bedroom studio apartment in Paderborn, Schloss Neuhaus, in a quiet location with a balcony, located on the 2nd floor.

We are privately renting out a bright, quiet studio apartment with an open-plan kitchen leading to the living/bedroom area, and a sunny balcony, located on the second floor of our well-maintained apartment building. The building is situated on a quiet side street in Schloß Neuhaus, Paderborn. As landlords, we value harmony among the residents and a supportive community. We want to maintain our peaceful atmosphere and hope to continue it with new tenants. We maintain a good, often friendly, relationship with our tenants and are readily available by phone or WhatsApp to answer any questions. The apartment has a floor area of 33.25 square meters. Our energy performance certificate, dated July 27, 2022, confirms that the building has excellent energy efficiency! The living/bedroom area is flooded with natural light, thanks to the large window and door leading to the balcony. This lovely apartment is very bright and ideal for a single person to feel comfortable. The kitchen area has a tiled backsplash and the necessary connections, but no kitchen cabinets. The apartment has a bathroom with a shower and toilet, including a mirrored cabinet and a towel cabinet. Our apartment was extensively renovated in mid-2023. The quiet laminate flooring was replaced, and all doors, radiators, walls, and ceilings were freshly painted. We plan to install color-coordinated vinyl laminate flooring in the bathroom soon. The rental offer includes a private storage room in the basement, as well as a shared laundry and drying room for all tenants in the building, and an additional bicycle storage room. We are happy to offer long-term rentals and are looking for quiet and responsible tenants with permanent employment. We only rent to non-smokers. Pets are not allowed. Free parking is available directly at the building. The additional costs (utilities) are €80 and include a pro-rata share of property tax, street cleaning, sewage and waste disposal fees, building insurance, costs for the chimney sweep, general electricity, and caretaker fees. In addition to the base rent of €398, you should factor in:
Your individual electricity consumption (€40?), heating and hot/cold water consumption (showers, washing machine, etc.) (€87?), and your household insurance (€3?). The utility providers will bill you directly for these costs. The information provided is non-binding and based on the previous tenant's experience. According to their information, the total monthly cost of living in the apartment is approximately €608. We are experiencing technical issues with Telekom. Therefore, cable contracts for internet, phone, or TV services must be arranged with Vodafone, as they are the telecommunications provider for this building. We require a security deposit equivalent to 3 months' net rent. The tenant is responsible for a €50 bank fee to open the security deposit account, and this amount is due along with the first month's rent. To proceed with your application for the apartment, please provide the following:
- A recent, 100% positive credit report (Schufa-Selbstauskunft).
- Pay stubs from the last 3 months.
- A copy of your photo ID (for our records).

Our building has 10 apartments, was built in 1983, and has been in family ownership for 35 years. All residents are non-smokers. Pets are not allowed in the building. Access to the apartments is via a bright and welcoming staircase with extra-wide steps. There is no elevator. Are you interested in the apartment? Then apply – please provide detailed information!
