Ratte melden (öffentliche Flächen)

örtliche Vorschriften zu Hygiene und Lebensmittelschutz sowie Ordnung und Sicherheit (verschiedentlich auch Polizeiverordnung)

Rats are considered to be carriers of diseases, so you should immediately report their presence to the property owner or the city or municipal administration.

Rats usually occur where they find sufficient food, shelter and nesting opportunities. They are more likely to occur in places where waste is stored in open rubbish and organic waste bins or on compost heaps. If the occurrence affects a private property, the property owner is responsible for measures against the rats and must be informed. If it is a public area or the property owner is not known, contact the municipal or city administration.

Any costs for the removal of rats shall be borne by the property owner.

Inform the respective property owner or landlord that rats have been seen on the property. The landlord or landlady must then remove the rats themselves or commission a pest control service.
