[asv-vorstand] Application to re-evaluate the accommodation deposit refund

[Nabaditya Bose]

Greetings,

I, Nabaditya Bose, am a student at University of Paderborn since October
2023 and have been residing at Vogeliusweg 28.1.1.2 till August 2024, which
is when my housing contract (no. 674326) expired. I would like to bring
your attention to the details involving the refund of the
accommodation deposit.

Firstly, I would like to point out that I was asked to sign a blank
"Mitteilung über erfolgte Abnahme" form and fill in the bank details by the
Huasmeister. On the inspection day (30th August 2024), they had come in a
hurry, checked everything in my room and the common spaces, then asked me
to sign the above mentioned form and hand over the keys. They did not
provide me with a copy of the form or even asked to click a picture of the
same. It was on 9th December when Studierendenwerk shared with me the form
upon asking for clarification for the basis of the deductions that they
have made. So essentially I got to see the remarks which were made in the
form, on the 9th of December.

I was astounded to see that I was being charged for the painter fee and
cleaning fee, because the hausmeister did not raise any concern during the
last inspection. He did not mention any need of repainting the walls, nor
did he mention any issues with the cleanliness of the apartment. Therefore
it was my expectation that there would be no deduction apart from the usual
(if any).

>From the enclosed form, it can be seen that repainting and cleaning with
charge has not been marked but still I am being charged for these.

Secondly, the kitchen and bathroom floor were already in poor condition
when I had moved in, which the hausmeister was notified of during previous
visits. The kitchen and bathroom floors and even the lobby area were
cleaned before handing over the keys and no issues were raised by the
hausmeister on the last day regarding cleaning.

Lastly, the standard refund duration has been exceeded. We were notified
that the refund would be done within 6-8 weeks. But 12 weeks have already
passed and I was just notified about the details associated with the refund
of the deposit.

Kindly look into this matter and do the needful. Attaching the photos of
the apartment for your reference.

Thanks and regards,

Nabaditya Bose
