# Erlangen - Housing in Erlangen

Find a room. Know what you are signing.

### Start with Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nürnberg

You can only apply online. The Studierendenwerk lists more than 3,600 places, from single rooms to family flats, and a free private-room service for Erlangen and Nuremberg. The search is hardest in the weeks before the winter semester, especially for international students and late admissions.

## Keep a second search running

A residence application is not a booking. Compare shared-flat rooms and private rentals while you wait. Check the address, the landlord or main tenant, the total monthly cost and the contract before paying.

## Before you sign

Deposits, running costs, move-in confirmation and scam checks: read the [housing guide for Germany](https://germandex.com/germany/housing) before signing.
