You lost your key or locked yourself out? Or your key has broken off in the door cylinder? No need to panic! Our caretakers, an emergency service or in the last instance an external key emergency service can help!
Please note that you must identify yourself as a tenant when opening the door. If you lose your key, you will have to pay the cost of a new lock. An administration fee of 25,00 € will also be charged for a new locking card. If the key is broken, a replacement key will be charged. If necessary, additional costs may be incurred if the door is opened by an external service provider (emergency number, key service). You will receive the invoice by post or e-mail from the residence administration.
