Who is your landlord, and what sets us apart from other landlords?
• We are a young, well-connected and open-minded family from Tostedt and know the local area very well
• Because the area is very beautiful, we also live just a few streets away.
• We know the disadvantages of owning a house, are commuters to Hamburg & Hanover ourselves, and understand how expensive good, adequately sized housing close to the city can be
• We treat our tenants as equals, with mutual respect and a cooperative partnership
• We are not a capitalist property development corporation, but a family that has put money aside, and this property is our retirement provision so that we will not depend on social assistance in old age
