Landlord Confirmation in Berlin – Official Info, PDF & Help
What is a Landlord Confirmation Form?
When you register your new address in Berlin (Anmeldung), the Bürgeramt will ask for a signed document from your landlord: the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (landlord confirmation). Without this, you cannot complete the registration.
This document proves that you actually live at the address you're registering. It’s mandatory under German law.

Who has to issue it?
The landlord confirmation must be signed by:
- the property owner or landlord, or
- the property management company, or
- the main tenant, if you’re subletting
Note: You cannot sign this yourself, even if you have a rental contract. The Bürgeramt requires the landlord’s or manager’s signature.
When do you need the Landlord Confirmation?
You need it anytime you:
- move into a new apartment in Berlin
- change addresses within the city
- want to register your residence (Anmeldung)

What If I Own the Apartment?
Many people assume that only tenants need proof of occupancy when registering their address. In reality, property owners must also provide the required registration documents when moving into a newly purchased apartment and registering it as their primary residence.
In this case, the owner effectively acts as both the housing provider and the resident of the property.
However, many Berlin property owners do not live in their apartments permanently. Some relocate abroad for work, rent out their property, or use it only occasionally throughout the year.
This often raises an important question: who takes care of the apartment while the owner is away?
- Checking the mailbox
- Inspecting the apartment regularly
- Managing spare keys
- Coordinating repairs and maintenance
- Supporting tenants when needed
For these situations, EasyAssist offers a professional Apartment Service Berlin, helping property owners keep their apartments safe, maintained and well-managed while living elsewhere.
FAQ – Common Questions
Can I register without a landlord confirmation?
❌ No. The Berlin Bürgeramt requires this document for every Anmeldung.
Can my rental contract replace it?
❌ No. Your rental contract is not enough. The landlord must confirm your move-in date separately.
Is an email from the landlord okay?
⚠️ Usually not. The form must be signed, and some Bürgerämter require the official PDF only.
Conclusion
The Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (landlord confirmation) is a key document
when registering your address in Berlin. If you want to save time and make sure everything is prepared correctly, EasyAssist supports you with the registration process and your Bürgeramt appointment.
