Tenants can, if they wish, apply for a transfer to another PSOAS apartment. The application is submitted through the PSOAS website following the normal application process. The commonly used term for changing apartments is internal move.
In an internal move, the normal calendar month notice period is not observed if the apartment is offered based on the tenant’s transfer application. Once a tenant has received an apartment change offer, they can terminate their existing agreement to end at the end of the current month.
The security deposit is reviewed during the transfer. If the security deposit for the new apartment is higher than the previous one, a separate invoice for paying the additional deposit will be sent along with the offer. For shared apartments, the security deposit is 250/300 euros, and for family apartments and studios, it is 400 euros. For example, when moving from a shared apartment to a studio, the tenant must pay an additional security deposit of 150 euros.
A fee of 50 € is charged to the tenant for the apartment change. This fee covers the costs of work caused by the transfer. An invoice for this fee is given when signing the new tenancy agreement.
If a tenant books an immediately available apartment through the website, the tenancy of the current apartment ends at the end of the following month. Booking an available apartment does not constitute an internal move.
During the busiest period in August-October, new students have priority, and no internal moves are made. If no new students are applying in October, internal moves can be made.
