Do you also carry out moves into a sublet?

Yes, we of course also carry out moves into a sublet . It makes no difference whether it is a flat-share room, a small flat or furnished accommodation. Our team adapts vehicle size and staff individually to the volume of your belongings, so that smaller interim solutions can also be handled cost-efficiently.

Do you also offer interim storage?

Yes, furniture and personal items can be stored with us ( Storage ). This is particularly helpful if the new flat is not yet ready to move into or there is not enough space in the interim flat. We discuss storage space, minimum period and costs during the survey.

How long does a typical temporary let last?

The length of a temporary let varies greatly, usually between a few weeks and several months. Factors such as the renovation time of the new flat or notice periods play an important role. We recommend planning the moving date flexibly and contacting us early so that we can reserve capacity accordingly.

What do the costs of a move into a temporary flat depend on?

The costs depend on the volume of belongings, the distance and any additional services such as interim storage. We give you the fixed price after the survey. Contact us by phone on 01625978461 for an individual, no-obligation quote.

Can I take just part of my furniture into the temporary let?

Yes, with an interim solution that is actually the norm, as temporary flats are often smaller. We help you make a sensible selection and store the rest of your furniture safely in the meantime. That way you save space and costs without having to do without important items.

Is a move into a sublet insured?

Yes. We are liable for your belongings on every transport under the HGB at €620 per cubic metre of loading space required – for the move into the temporary let just as for the later onward move. Additional insurance is possible for particularly valuable items. It is best to transport money, jewellery and important documents yourself.

How short-notice can I book a move into a temporary let?

We know that a sublet often becomes necessary at short notice, for example due to a sudden notice to quit or delays with the new flat. That is why we try to handle short-notice requests flexibly too. Simply call us on 01625978461 – we will check available capacity for your preferred date straight away.

What happens if the new flat is not yet ready to move into?

In this case we recommend a combination of a temporary let and professional interim storage. We first transport your belongings to storage and later carry out the final move into the new flat. That way you do not have to worry about anything and always have a reliable partner at your side.

Do you also offer moves into sublets as long-distance moves?

Yes, we also support you with moves into a temporary let on long-distance moves . Whether within Germany or over longer distances – our team plans the logistics so that your belongings arrive safely and on time. Further information can be found under Long-distance moves .

What should I bear in mind when choosing a temporary let?

With an interim solution , insist on a written contract with the rental period, rent, deposit and notice, and make sure the main tenant has their landlord's consent (§ 540 BGB). Ask for the landlord confirmation in case you need to register. We advise you on how much furniture will realistically fit into the interim flat and what is better put into storage.

How do I get a quote for my move into a sublet?

You can get a quote for your sublet easily by phone on 01625978461 or via our contact form. After discussing the scope and timing of your move and a survey, we give you a fixed price – for a stress-free transition into your new temporary home.

Subletting & interim solutions

Q: What is meant by an interim solution when moving?

An interim solution refers to a temporary residence, usually in the form of a sublet, that people use between two permanent homes. It can become necessary because of renovation work, notice periods or delayed handovers. We help you organise both the move out and the later onward move into the permanent flat smoothly – including optional interim storage of your furniture.

Interim solution

Sublets and temporary lets: moving in stages

Living on a temporary basis

Unsere Firma Interim solutions when moving: sublease agreement, landlord's consent, registration and storing furniture.

A temporary let (Zwischenmiete) or a sublet usually means two moves in a short time: first into the interim flat, later into your permanent home. Short lead times, little space and packing and unpacking twice are typical. Legally important: anyone who sublets needs their landlord's consent (§ 540 BGB). We adapt to such stages and give you a fixed price for each stage after the survey.

For your private move into a temporary let, we only take what fits there; the rest can be put into storage – more under Storage. We are liable for your belongings on every transport under the HGB (€620 per m³), and additional insurance is possible on request. Further information can be found under Private move. Call us on 01625978461 – we will advise you on your situation.

FLEXIBLE, IN STAGES

How we organise interim solutions

Select, transport, store

An interim solution often arises under time pressure – because of a notice to quit, a renovation or a delayed handover. Together with you we sort out what goes into the interim flat and what goes into storage, and plan the later onward move at the same time, so that boxes are labelled and furniture is not dismantled twice. We are liable for your belongings on every transport under the HGB, even if the move takes place in several stages. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive nationwide – destinations are listed under Locations.

Packing service

We pack separately into “comes along” and “goes into storage” – so in the interim flat you only open the boxes you really need.

Storage

Whatever does not fit into the temporary let stays in storage until you finally move in and is taken from there directly to the new flat.

Small move

For a flat-share room or a furnished apartment, a few boxes are often enough; we adapt the vehicle and team to this small scope.

Furniture transport

We dismantle large furniture for storage and later reassemble it in the permanent flat – without it having to go through narrow stairwells twice.

RELIABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME

What matters with an interim solution

With an interim solution in particular, clear agreements count: which furniture goes where, when the second move is due and who can be reached during the interim period. We treat your belongings with the same care at every stage.

A clear selection

Before the first move we decide with you what goes into the sublet and what is stored – according to the room size of the interim flat.

Safe stages

Liability under the HGB applies to every transport. After the second move, an inventory list quickly shows whether everything has arrived.

Stay reachable

A fixed contact person knows both dates, can be reached during the interim period and gets in touch if anything about the final move-in shifts.

Thinking ahead to the second move

We plan the onward move from the outset, so that boxes are labelled and furniture does not have to be dismantled twice.

Flexible if delayed

If the new flat is delayed, you extend the storage and we postpone the second date – the sooner we know, the easier it is.

A clean finish

At the end, everything is in the permanent flat, the storage is cleared and the interim flat is handed back in the condition in which you took it over.

SMALL LOADS

Just a few boxes? Part load

For flat-share rooms and apartments

For small volumes for your sublet, we also offer a part load: your things travel together with other jobs. This suits students and short temporary lets with few belongings in particular – with a time window instead of a fixed collection day.

LAW AND PRACTICE

Contract,
registration, storage

What to clarify before moving in

Around subletting and interim solutions there are legal and practical questions: does the main tenant have their landlord's consent? Who issues the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung)? Do you have to re-register at all? Anyone who stays registered for another flat in Germany and stays for no more than six months does not have to register (§ 27 para. 2 BMG). More on registration can be read in the article Landlord confirmation.

Contract and consent

A written sublease agreement with duration, rent and notice, plus the landlord's consent: that puts your private move, senior move or student move into a temporary let on a secure footing.

Selection and storage

With a packing service, furniture transport to storage and a small transport to the interim flat, only what fits there comes along – the rest waits, safely packed.

The second move

Once the permanent flat is settled, we collect the things from storage and the temporary let. An office move, company relocation, public-authority move, part load or furniture taxi can also be planned in stages this way.

FAQ

Questions on sublets and temporary lets

Answers on consent, registration, storage, costs and short-notice dates.

An interim solution refers to a temporary residence, usually in the form of a sublet, that people use between two permanent homes. It can become necessary because of renovation work, notice periods or delayed handovers. We help you organise both the move out and the later onward move into the permanent flat smoothly – including optional interim storage of your furniture.

What to look out for with a temporary let

A temporary let is usually a sublet: the main tenant lets you have a room or flat for a certain time. For this they need their landlord's consent (§ 540 BGB); if they acquire a legitimate interest after the contract was concluded, such as a stay abroad, they can demand consent for part of the flat (§ 553 BGB). Ask to see the consent and record the duration, rent, deposit and notice in writing.

For registration, the main tenant, as the provider of the accommodation, issues you the landlord confirmation (§ 19 BMG). If you remain registered for another flat in Germany and live in the temporary let for no more than six months, you do not need to register (§ 27 para. 2 BMG); if you give up the old flat, re-register within two weeks. Also clarify access and parking for moving day with the main tenant.

Interim storage as a practical addition

Not all your belongings always fit into temporary accommodation. Then storage is worthwhile: furniture and boxes are packed, taken away and stay in storage until the final move. During the interim period you do not pay for a flat that is too big just to accommodate furniture.

Which storage space, which minimum period and which costs apply in your case we clarify during the survey; information can also be found under Storage. Draw up an inventory list and pack things you need in the meantime – winter coats, documents – in the boxes for the interim flat.

Prices for a move in stages

In a nutshell: 1 room costs from €344, 2 rooms from €589, 3 rooms from €915 and 4 rooms from €1,329. Anyone living in a house or villa always receives an individual quote after a survey. For long-distance moves a kilometre rate from €3.90 applies. At the free survey we calculate both stages and the storage.

What determines the price for two moves

The calculation is based on the volume of your belongings and the distance to be covered (from €3.90/km). Then come the floor, the lift and, if applicable, a no-parking zone. If needed, furniture assembly and a part load round off our offer.
