How does the use of shared meeting areas work?
Mehr oder weniger anzeigen

The meeting space can be booked via the calendar in the customer portal or on our website. The other shared spaces, such as the lounge, the coffee corner and the telephone boxes, follow the fair use principle. This means that everyone makes sure to use them in a balanced and respectful way. We rely on the joint responsibility of all tenants and guests to leave the premises as they would like to find it themselves for their most important meeting.

House and usage regulations are provided to all tenants at the start of the tenancy in order to ensure smooth cooperation.
