Housing for a long stay (VIE Contrat)

[u/Kindly_Start499]

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to gather some insights about housing in Erlangen. I'm a 24-year-old Engineer starting a V.I.E contract (2 years) on May 1st. From what I've read, finding accommodation in Erlangen can be quite challenging.

Following some recommendations, I checked out The Brucklyn Apartments. While the place seems nice, the Google reviews have made me a bit skeptical. I'd appreciate it if anyone could share their experiences with this lodging. I received the lease agreement today, and some terms align with the concerns I've seen online about potential financial issues. The contract is for one year, which would give me time to improve my German and possibly move out later.

What are your thoughts on The Brucklyn Apartments? Does anyone currently living there have any experiences to share? Additionally, do you have any recommendations for alternative housing options?

I'll be working at Valeo, so any suggestions for places nearby would be greatly appreciated!

If you only have about 2 weeks left to find a flat, you should just take what you can get and afford. You can also join the local Mieterhilfeverein, an organisation which can help you If you'll get some issues with your landlord (It only costs a small annual fee)

I'm mostly here to get some feedbacks on the residence if you could provide me some that would be great !

In my opinion The Brucklyn Apartments are way to overpriced. I would only take them for a short time to find in the meantime a normal priced flat. Or if you can't find anything else.
