Finance
We offer more than just rental apartments at MB275. For a monthly service charge on top of the base rent you will have access to a range of onsite amenities including a gym and roof terrace. This fee also covers the maintenance and cleaning of the common areas, as well as electricity, water, internet, flooring and furniture. Go to our services charges page for more information about these costs.
The deposit is 2 times the base rent.
Water, heating and electricity is arranged collectively, so you pay a lower price. An advance payment is included in the monthly rent and will be settled every year, based on your actual use.
The rent increases are legally defined. Every year in April you will receive a letter with the annual increase as per the following July.
The application fee is €100. Once your application is finalised, this application fee will be refunded, by means of balancing out with the €100 move-in fee (so there is no additional amount to be paid at move-in).
