ABOUT THE RENTAL
Are there any parking spaces available?
There are no parking spaces available for rent, but we are actively exploring options for a shared mobility car programme for The Pulse. We expect to be able to provide more details on this soon.
Is flat sharing permitted?
Unfortunately, it is not permitted to rent the properties with flatmates. Properties are only rented to single persons, cohabiting couples and families.
Is subletting permitted?
No, this is prohibited. Please note that this may result in the immediate termination of your tenancy agreement and a substantial fine.
Are pets permitted?
Pets are generally not permitted at The Pulse. This provision is included in the tenancy agreement to ensure the quality of life and living comfort for all residents, and to prevent potential nuisance or damage. In exceptional cases, the landlord may grant written permission to keep a pet, provided that this has been requested in advance and the animal does not cause any nuisance. Please contact the landlord in good time, preferably before signing the tenancy agreement.
Is there a covered bicycle parking facility available?
The Pulse offers a special covered bicycle parking facility for residents’ bicycles, allowing you to park easily and securely. A separate bicycle parking facility is available on site for visitors. Please note that extra-large bicycles, such as fat bikes and cargo bikes, must be parked at the general bicycle parking facility on the east side of the building.
Can I charge my electric bicycle in the bicycle shed?
There are no charging points available for electric bicycles.
Is the terrace on the 8th floor accessible?
The Pulse has an enclosed terrace on the 8th floor. Residents of the residential tower have exclusive access to the terrace.
What are the plans for the area surrounding The Pulse?
The courtyard garden at Florence Pricehof, south of The Pulse, will be constructed once the developments next to The Pulse are complete. The plan is to commence work on this in 2028.
