Why do I accept foreign roommates?

I love it to meet different cultures and different mindsets. You're a foreigner? Please contact us! Regardless if you become our next roommate. We can also share some time for example during a wg-evening together. You will have first social contacts in Germany and I will learn something new about your culture and your mindset.

About our WG-life:

The idea of this WG-House Of Nations is to have directly connections to other people, from all over the world. Of course you choose if you want to have social contact with your roommates. If you don´t want that, that is also totally fine for us. Please just only enjoy your life in Münster / Germany. I wish you a great time in Münster.

You only have to follow the social protocoll and the house-rules (social protocoll means that you have to be a respectul person and have good manners). Beside that there are no additional rules regarding our daily wg-life.

Our house rules are the following:

- vegan-house-rule (due to respect and love to all animals - not only cats and dogs - only plant-based food and drinks inside the house. Why this rule exists? Me, Mark - the founder of this WG-House Of Nations and your housemate - have made my first vegan experience in 2004 and am a vegan since 2010. For me it is not acceptable to have any animal product related foods and drinks in my house. Beside the ethical aspect of protecting animals, consuming no food and drink related animal products in our WG-House Of Nations also protects the environment and in the end us humans itself.

Keyword: global warming.

- you are a meat eater? You are a vegetarian? You are a vegan? Or you are something in between? Everybody is welcome in our WG-House Of Nations!
- outside the house eat and drink whatever you want (if you want to do that, eat several times animal products each and every day. Please only don´t do that in our vegan-house)
- we have a lot of vegan cooking and vegan baking books, if you need help with the vegan diet in the vegan-house
- Münster is a vegan-paradise-city (top ten in Germany). You will find all classical animal products in a vegan way aswell (also fake-meat-products like chicken and of course for example oat milk, delicious vegan cakes, vegan fake cheese, vegan fake fish and so on)
- no smoking
- no marihuana / no weed
- no drugs (some of us drink alcohol, some not, however alcohol is the only exception from the drugs. You are allowed to drink alcohol also in our house)
- no pets
- we have a cleaning plan (of course we can also clean together, then it is more fun)

This WG-House-Of-Nations is perfect for a shared-living.

We have one beautiful garden with two hammocks, one garden swing, eleven garden chairs, two garden tables, a lot of roses and other flowers, a 20 m² fully equiped kitchen with cozy couch, cozy armchair, gas stove, crushed ice, filtered water, high quality rice boiler, a pizza stone oven for fantastic fresh pizza, a high quality smoothie mixer, a high quality orange press (also for lemons, lime, pomegranate and so on), a popcorn machine, two showers, four toilets and every room is furnished.

Please only bring your internationality, your good mood and your good maniers and please follow the social protocoll.

PS:

Here comes the explanation for the very high rent:

1. One of the two mortgages for the house increased ten times since 01.08.2022, because the contract was - on force of the bank - a variable credit contract. The mortgage increased from 1,51% p.a. to 5,38% p.a. in one year. Since the end of November 2024 it is at 4,67% p.a.

2. The second mortgage for the house will increase from 01.03.2025 onwards from 2,25% to 3,8% - 5,2%, because the ten years of a fixed interest rate will be over on that day. I must save money already now to be able to pay the new mortgage from 01.03.2025 onwards. I guess that the mortgage will increase to around 5,2% p.a. instead of 2,25% p.a. for the ten years from 2015-2025.

3. Due to European and German law I will be forced to reach the energy efficiency class of at least C in around 2033. Now our house energy efficiency it is E (151,8 kWh). That will cause renovation costs of € 100.000 - € 200.000 depending on when I will be able to start the renovation process. Now I don't have € 100.000 and so I can't start that process. If my earnings in my job allow it I would start the first renovations in summer 2025 (new house door, new windows and maybe some other stuff).

4. The room is fully furnished.

5. The house is fully equiped.

6. I must follow the German law of "Gewinnerzielungsabsicht." In English "intention to make profit."

Here is a link that explains what "Gewinnerzielungsabsicht" means:

https://www.steuer-gonze.de/web/index.php/letzte-aenderungen-tipps/421-fehlende-gewinnerzielungsabsicht-bei-langandauernden-hausrenovierungen

So far I was not able to make profit with the renting of the rooms in my house over the full period of time since 01.10.2014 due to renovation costs and investions in the house of already more than € 100.000 since 01.10.2014.

The law in Germany forces me to make profit and so I must make profit now, because otherwise the tax office - if I can't proof my intention to make profit - will send me a tax bill of minimum € 50.000 and maximum € 100.000 for the renting of my rooms since 01.10.2014. That - obviously - is not an option. Anyway: Of course I follow German laws, because that is mandatory.

7. Whenever a light bulb stops working - or whatever - I will take care that you will remain in a furnished and fully operational room and house. There will be no extra costs.
