In Germany, the ability to register one's residence is crucial, impacting various aspects of life such as banking and permits. The Federal Registration Act mandates that all residents must register their primary address within two weeks of moving in. However, a concerning trend has emerged where landlords advertise properties with 'ohne Anmeldung', denying tenants this legal requirement. Legal experts, such as Wibke Werner from the Berlin Tenants' Association, highlight that landlords are obligated to issue a confirmation of residence to facilitate this registration process for tenants.
In order for tenants to fulfil their registration obligation and register their place of residence with the relevant registration authority, they require a so-called landlord's certificate of residence. The landlord is therefore obliged to confirm that a tenant has moved in with the relevant registration authority.
Increasingly, there seems to be a trend of rooms and flats being advertised online with the words 'ohne Anmeldung' - that is, without the ability to register.
