Shared apartment with heart. Maximilian Vogel (30) has been living in Klaus Serbin's (84) house in Planegg for six years - without paying a cent of rent.

The “Housing for Help’ model brought the two together. The pragmatic start has developed into a friendship for life. The concept stipulates that the young person - usually students - does not pay rent, but only a flat rate for additional costs. In return, he undertakes to provide the elderly homeowner with as many hours of help per month as the number of square meters he inhabits.
