Wohnungsgeberbestätigung

If you move into a new apartment, you will need confirmation from your landlord about moving in. You must submit these to the competent registration authority every time you register.

As a rule, the landlord is the owner of the apartment. However, it can also be the property management commissioned by the owner or, if you live as a subtenant, also the main tenant of the apartment.

The landlord's confirmation must contain the following information:

Name and address of the landlord

• Name and address of the owner (if he or she is not the landlord)
• Address of the dwelling
• Names of all persons who move into the apartment and are therefore subject to registration
• Move-in date

You will receive the landlord's confirmation from your landlord.

It is also possible for landlords to submit the confirmation electronically to the competent registration authority if it has opened up appropriate access. In this case, you will receive a so-called assignment feature from your landlord, which will be communicated to him or her by the registration authority.

When you then register with this registration authority, you either submit the landlord's confirmation or enter the assignment characteristic.

The landlord is obliged to issue the confirmation no later than two weeks after moving in.

If the landlord refuses to issue the confirmation or if it is not possible for you to obtain the confirmation for other reasons, you must inform the competent registration authority immediately.
