Residents of the student housing complex in Freimann, known as Stusta, have voiced their frustrations over issues with mold and structural damage that they claim have not been adequately addressed. Two weeks ago, they submitted a written ultimatum to Claudia Meijering, the managing director of the student services organization, along with 2400 photos documenting the extent of the mold and other damages. They have set a deadline for improvements to be visible by February 18, otherwise, they plan to pursue a rent reduction starting March 1.

In response to the concerns raised by the students, the student services organization has initiated cleaning and repairs within the facilities. However, many residents feel that these efforts are insufficient to tackle the scale of the problems they are facing. The ongoing situation highlights significant concerns regarding the living conditions of students in the area, as health risks associated with mold accumulation could lead to broader implications for both the students' well-being and the reputation of the housing organization.

The push for a rent reduction illustrates a growing frustration among students who are demanding accountability and improvements from the authorities responsible for their living conditions. If the situation is not resolved satisfactorily, it could result in increased tension between students and the housing authorities, along with potential legal or financial implications for the student services organization if they fail to meet the deadline set by the residents.
