The country's paperwork
A residential lease runs for an indefinite period; a fixed term is allowed only when the landlord states the reason in writing when signing, such as using the home for themselves or their family, works on it, or letting it to an employee. (§ 575 BGB)
A home let only for temporary use is left out of much of the tenant protection. The rules on the rent at the start of the lease, on rent increases and on the protection when the lease ends do not apply to it. (§ 549 BGB)
The same goes for a room that is part of the home where the landlord lives and that the landlord has mostly furnished, unless it is let for permanent use to the tenant with their family or household. (§ 549 BGB)
The deposit (Kaution) is at most three months' rent without operating costs; the tenant may pay it in three equal monthly instalments, and the landlord keeps it apart from their own assets, with its interest going to the tenant. (§ 551 BGB)
Whoever moves into a home in Germany must register (Anmeldung) with the registration office (Meldebehörde) within two weeks of moving in. (§ 17 BMG)
For the Anmeldung the landlord confirms the move-in in writing (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung), within the same two weeks. (§ 19 BMG)
Whoever leaves Germany with no new home in the country must deregister (Abmeldung) within two weeks of moving out; it can be done at the earliest one week before. (§ 17 BMG)
After the Anmeldung, the tax authorities assign the tax identification number (Steuer-ID). (§ 139b Abgabenordnung)
Everyone who lives in Germany must have health insurance. (§ 193 VVG)
Every home pays the broadcasting fee (Rundfunkbeitrag): 18.36 € a month per home, not per person; in a shared flat one person pays for all. (Rundfunkbeitragsstaatsvertrag)
