IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Germany has implemented new registration rules for landlords and all individuals taking up residence in Germany, including foreign nationals.
What does the change mean? Within two weeks of a tenant moving in or out, a form must be submitted to local authorities signed by the landlord and indicating the name of the tenant and other information. Foreign nationals staying at a hotel for more than three months must also register with local authorities within two weeks.
Background: The new law took effect Nov. 1 and is aimed at better tracking of all residents, including foreign nationals.
BAL Analysis: Companies should be aware of these additional procedures and the steep fines for noncompliance.
