What helpers can and cannot do
Helpers can
- making or supporting German phone calls to your landlord or Hausverwaltung
- translating letters, emails, or in-call conversation
- taking notes and confirming what was agreed on the call
- asking the practical questions you prepare in advance
Helpers cannot
- legal advice on tenancy law (Mietrecht) or your rights as a tenant
- negotiating or agreeing to binding terms on your behalf
- guarantees about repair timelines, deposit refunds, or outcomes
- representation in disputes with your landlord
Prepare before booking
1. Contact details
Have the landlord or Hausverwaltung name and phone number ready.
2. Letter, email, or screenshot
Share any document you received so your helper can read it before the call.
3. Address related to the issue
The flat address helps if your helper needs to identify the right contact or reference number.
4. Short summary of the problem
A few sentences in your language is enough. Your helper will handle the German.
5. What outcome you want
A confirmed repair date, a deposit refund, a clarified amount: knowing the goal helps your helper push for it.
6. Any deadline mentioned
If a letter gives a response deadline, share it so your helper can flag urgency during the call.

Questions people usually have before booking
These answers are designed to clarify fit and reduce the mismatch between what users hope for and what the service actually provides.
The helper can introduce themselves and explain they are assisting you with translation and communication. Whether the landlord accepts a third party depends on their own policies, and SettlyGo cannot override that. Most helpers have experience navigating this.
Yes. Share the letter when booking so your helper can read it in advance, explain what it requires, and be prepared to reference it during the call.
Your helper will summarise what was said, what was agreed, and what your next step should be. If the issue needs formal follow-up or legal action, they will tell you who to contact.
Landlord calls are booked as Phone Call Help: a fixed-price booking with about one hour of support, covering the briefing, the call, and the recap. Most housing calls fit comfortably within that time.
