Check in at AUAS housing

All rental contracts of AUAS Housing will start in the first half of August 2025. You can move in from the start date of your contract onwards. The check-in will be directly at your new address or at the housing provider's office, depending on the location and type of keys: traditional keys or digital (keyless). Your housing provider will inform you about this towards the start of your lease.

Traditional keys

• You must collect your traditional room key in person. This cannot be done by someone else. Bring your passport and tenancy contract. 
• Traditional key pick-up is only possible during specific hours. You might need to stay in a hostel or hotel at your own expenses if you arrive outside of these hours (at night or during the weekend).

Digital keys

• Most housing providers offer keyless/digital room access by an app on your mobile phone.
• Check-in at a keyless room is possible from 3pm onwards on the start date of your rental contract.
• Make sure to activate your digital key before your arrival: You will need your tenancy number and wifi or mobile data to connect to the keyless app!
• Never give your digital key code to other persons!

Your housing provider will inform you about the details in due time. You can also check the details here:
