Contractor Accommodation and Crew Housing to Rent

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Is MA-Flats an agency or the landlord?

We are the operator, not a listings portal. The apartments are run and let by us: furnishing, cleaning, key handover and invoicing all go through us. There is no middleman and no agency fee, you speak directly with the operator of the apartment.

What is the difference between a room and a whole apartment?

A room, in German a Monteurzimmer, is a single room, usually as a single or double, with the kitchen and bathroom shared within the house. An apartment, a Monteurwohnung, is a self-contained unit for you alone or for your team. Contractor accommodation, worker housing and crew accommodation are collective terms for both.

What does contractor accommodation cost?

From €14 per person per night. We will tell you the exact price straight away on the phone; it depends on the city, the dates, the number of rooms and the team size. Always included are the furnished apartment, the equipped kitchen, bathroom, washing machine, bed linen, towels and the final cleaning.

How quickly can I get accommodation?

Short-notice enquiries are the norm here. You reach us by phone daily from 8 am to 8 pm, on WhatsApp around the clock, weekends included. If a unit in your city is free, you can move in the same day; check-in is from 4 pm, as a rule by key safe or code. A no comes just as fast, so you can keep looking.

Can I book as a private individual or only as a company?

Both are possible. Most of our guests come through their employer, because the invoice is then made out to the business and paid by bank transfer. Booking as a private individual changes nothing about the process: tell us the job site, the dates and the number of people, and you get a quote.

Can I rent a whole house for the crew?

Yes. Alongside single and double rooms we rent out complete apartments and entire houses of up to 113 m². A squad of seven people usually stays in one house or in two neighbouring apartments in the same building. Tell us the team size and we will plan the split.

Do I have to register with the authorities while staying in worker housing?

For a stay of up to six months with your main residence elsewhere, registration is usually not required. If you stay longer, talk to us and we will clarify it for your accommodation. Binding information is given by the residents' registration office of the city in question.

Will we get an invoice made out to the company?

Yes. We invoice your business directly and payment is made by bank transfer. For schedulers and site managers that means one contact, one document, and no out-of-pocket payments by the workers.

How does check-in work?

Check-in is possible from 4 pm and, as a rule, runs via a key safe or a code. That way you get into the apartment on your own, late in the evening or at the weekend, without anyone having to wait for you. Arriving later than planned is no problem, just let us know beforehand.

Is there Wi-Fi and a parking space?

Wi-Fi is included in every apartment and free of charge. Whether a parking space comes with it depends on the apartment; where there is one, it also takes vans and lorries. Tell us what you are arriving in and how many vehicles are coming, and we will pick accommodation where that works.

Is there a minimum rental period?

As a rule we rent from five to seven nights upwards. There is no upper limit: anything from one week to several months is possible, and if the project runs longer, we extend without fuss. If you need something shorter, just ask and we will tell you what can be arranged.

Which cities do you have accommodation in?

In Frankfurt am Main, Nuremberg, Cologne, Dresden, Hanover, Leipzig, Bremen, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Dortmund and Düsseldorf. Frankfurt is our largest location, and it is where we started in 2021. We cover further cities on request, so just ask about your job site.
