Information on completing the questionnaire

Some of the following questions relate to your tenancy agreement. Please have your tenancy agreement and, where applicable, documents relating to rent increases at hand to make the questions easier to answer.

If there is someone who is more familiar with your tenancy matters than you are, please feel free to pass the documents on to that person.

Completing the questionnaire takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. You can interrupt the questionnaire at any time and continue later. Only once you have completed the questionnaire in full is it considered finished and you will no longer be able to make change your answers.

The program may notify you if the information you have entered is inconsistent. If this happens, please check whether you can correct the information.

Participation in the survey is voluntary. Your answers will be treated as strictly confidential and will not be passed on to third parties (e.g. your landlord or the housing authority). The responses will be combined and published only in aggregated form. You can view the privacy information here.
