In most rental buildings in Germany, there is a 'house rule'. What is stated in such a 'house rule'? It specifies …
- A rules for the use of public transportation.
- B all tenants in the building.
- C rules that all residents must adhere to. ✓ Correct answer

Explanation
A Hausordnung is the internal set of rules for a residential building, covering things like quiet hours, cleaning schedules, and shared-area use. It is not about public transport, a list of tenants, or contact details for authorities.
Tips
- Focus on keywords: “Mietshäusern” and “Hausordnung” indicate internal house rules.
- Eliminate options that refer to external services (public transport) or administrative contacts (authorities).
- Avoid choices that describe lists of people; regulations documents usually state conduct, not tenant rosters.
- In questions about everyday regulations, pick the option describing behavioral rules for residents and shared spaces.
