Since the troubles with the lease seemed to be dealt with I had to have an appointment with my bank. The trouble is the thing with the security deposit. This has to be at the company managing the building in order to be able to sign the lease. Usually you would just transfer it by online banking. The problem is that the accounting for this building is done in Graz and the branch office in Vienna doesn't have any access to the accounting data. Besides that it would have been a too short time for the deposit to be recorded properly. So your only choice is to make a cash deposit at the bank of the recepient. The thing they want is an official signature from the bank, that the money has been put into their account.
So today I went to the headquarters of my bank and withdrew in cash the security deposit for the new place and the commision for the real estate agent. Withdrawing 5 Grand from your checking account really hurts. Then I went a branch office of the recipients bank and made a cash deposit into their account. Now that has been dealt with there is nothing standing in the way of signing the Lease on the coming Monday.
