Can my landlord legally not let me do my anmeldung in Germany? I really need to do my anmeldung so I can start working and get health insurance in Germany now (during corona). I moved out of a youth hostel once it shut down and me and two others found a room for rent which is sort of a hotel that had been converted to an apartment during corona, since they lost their customers. The landlord says anmeldung is not possible here, but I was wondering if that is fair, since we are paying to be here, and it is now basically impossible for us to get our anmeldung without moving and paying somewhere else (or even double paying). I can’t generate income without my anmeldung.
No, they can't. They are required by law to issue a Einzugsbestätigung when your indended stay is longer than 3 months when staying in a hostel or pension or another form of temporary accommodation. The rule for temporary residence (up to 3 months) have many exceptions Youth Hostel are exempted Hotels, Pensions have a simplified registration (Hotel registration) For long term residence in Hostel, Pension etc. (everything more than 3 months), the standard rules apply registration after 3 months plus 14 days at the latest may be done earlier, if the extended stay exceeds 3 months This sample assumes the person is not registered elsewere in Germany. For those who are registered elsewhere in Germany 6 months apply instead of 3 months A Einzugsbestätigung (Confirmation of moving in) must be issued by the landlord when registering. Should the landlord refuse to issue a Einzugsbestätigung, you are required to report this to registry office immediately to avoid paying a fine. In pratical terms, you should go to the office personally and tell them that you want to register but landlord refuse to issue a Einzugsbestätigung. When moving a permanent residence, registration within 14 days is required. Die „Hotelmeldepflicht“ 3. Abgrenzung zur allgemeinen Meldepflicht ... Allerdings greift für eine Beherbergungsstätte diese allgemeine Meldepflicht lediglich dann ein, wenn eine der beiden folgenden Fallgruppen vorliegt: Fallgruppe 1: Die aufgenommene Person ist nicht für eine Wohnung im Inland gemeldet und ihr Aufenthalt überschreitet die Dauer von drei Monaten. Dann muss sie sich bei der Meldebehörde ganz regulär anmelden und zwar binnen zwei Wochen, nachdem der Zeitraum von drei Monaten überschritten wurde. (Fall des § 29 Abs. 1 Satz 2 BMG). Eine Anmeldung schon vor Ablauf der genannten Zeitgrenzen ist möglich, sofern von vornherein ein darüber hinausgehender Aufenthalt beabsichtigt ist. ... 3. Differentiation from the general reporting obligation ... However, this general reporting obligation only applies to an accommodation facility if one of the two following groups of cases applies: Case group 1: The admitted person is not registered for an apartment in Germany and their stay exceeds three months. Then they have to register with the registration authority in the normal way, within two weeks after the period of three months has been exceeded. (Case of Section 29 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 BMG). It is possible to register before the specified time limits have expired, provided that a longer stay is planned from the outset. ... Meldegesetz – Einzugsbestätigung Weigert sich Ihr Vermieter oder Wohnungsgeber, Ihnen die Bestätigung auszustellen, müssen Sie dies umgehend der zuständigen Meldebehörde mitteilen (§ 19 Abs. 2 BMG). Nur so laufen Sie nicht Gefahr, ein Bußgeld zahlen zu müssen. Denn wer seinen Pflichten nicht nachkommt, riskiert ein Bußgeld von bis zu 1.000 Euro (§ 54 Abs. 2 Nr. 1, Abs. 3 BMG). If your landlord or the landlord refuses to issue you the confirmation, you must notify the competent registration authority immediately (Section 19 (2) BMG). This is the only way you do not run the risk of having to pay a fine. Because anyone who does not meet his obligations risks a fine of up to 1,000 euros (Section 54, Paragraph 2, No. 1, Paragraph 3 BMG). Sources: Die „Hotelmeldepflicht“ | rehm.

Note that, criminals are not allowed to apply for a German citizenship, so I don't know whether the German government would consider being a deserter as a being criminal. First of all, they would deny a criminal German citizenry, but that goes only for crimes, that are also illegal in Germany (Sec. 12a § 2 Nationality Act, § 12a Abs. 2 StAG). Were you - for instance - convicted for muder you couldn't become a German citizen. Desertion in that sense however is not a criminal offence in Germany, so you're good. Regarding double citizenship, Sec. 12 § 1 2nd sentence no. 2 Nationality Act (§ 12 Abs. 1 S. 2 Nr. 2 StAG) allows you to keep your original citizenship, if the country of origin &quot;regularly refuses to grant release from citizenship&quot;, which should be the case here. Therefore, you could become a German citizen according to Sec. 10 Nationality Act (§ 10 StAG).
When the fixed term ends, you have two options if you want to stay. The first option is that you and the landlord can sign a new tenancy agreement, with a new fixed term. This new agreement replaces the old one at the end of the current fixed term, so the landlord is free to make changes, including proposing any number for the rent - and you are free to reject it. Alternatively, when the fixed term ends, if you don't sign a new agreement, and you don't leave, the tenancy automatically* becomes a Statutory Periodic Tenancy - often called a rolling contract. This has no fixed term, which means that if you want to leave, you have to give 1 month's notice, while if the landlord wants you to leave, they must give 2 months' notice. Apart from that, the terms of the existing contract, including the rent review clause mentioned in the question, remain in force. The rent review clause suggests that the landlord can unilaterally impose a rent increase after the fixed term ends, but only up to the amount specified. Hence, without signing a new agreement, any increase beyond that would not be allowed. Also, it doesn't appear to make any mention of future rent increases, which suggests that the default rules for rolling contracts will apply, in that the landlord can propose a rent increase, which you can accept or reject. Failing that, the landlord can impose one via a Section 13 Notice, but only once a year. If you feel the requested rent is unreasonable, you can challenge this, and a tribunal will make a ruling based on the state of the property and the rents for similar properties in the area. (* If the tenancy has any provisions relating to what happens once the fixed term ends, then the tenancy may become a Contractual Periodic Tenancy. However, unless those provisions relate to rent, then they may not be relevant here.)
germany Visitors in hotels must be registered and the hotel must keep the paperwork for a certain duration. According to §29 Bundesmeldegesetz, foreigners who are required to be named in their registry need to show an identity document (groups might have summary listings for some). There are some optional simplifications. Paying by credit card may count as identity verification. From context where this law is placed, it is not about interpersonal issues in the hotel. Germany requires all residents to register with their municipality of residence, and registering hotel visitors closes loopholes. §28 immediately before this is about sailors on river barges, §32 is about hospitals.
There is no legislation in Germany that explicitly states how long you have to wait in such a situation. First let's look what happened: According to your work contract, you are obligated to be available for work and follow the directions of your employer. Let's not go into nuances of the latter duty, because they depend on what type of work you are doing. Your employer is obligated to pay you if you fulfill your duties. What happened is called Annahmeverzug (default of acceptance) in German civil law (§ 615 BGB): Kommt der Dienstberechtigte mit der Annahme der Dienste in Verzug, so kann der Verpflichtete für die infolge des Verzugs nicht geleisteten Dienste die vereinbarte Vergütung verlangen, ohne zur Nachleistung verpflichtet zu sein. Er muss sich jedoch den Wert desjenigen anrechnen lassen, was er infolge des Unterbleibens der Dienstleistung erspart oder durch anderweitige Verwendung seiner Dienste erwirbt oder zu erwerben böswillig unterlässt. … English translation: If the person entitled to services is in default in accepting the services, then the party owing the services may demand the agreed remuneration for the services not rendered as the result of the default without being obliged to provide cure. However, he must allow to be credited against him what he saves as a result of not performing the services or acquires or wilfully fails to acquire through use of his employment elsewhere. … If your employer doesn't enable you to work, they have to pay you for your time. You don't have to make up that time. If you save money by not working or had the opportunity to earn money by other means1 during that time, this can be deducted from your pay. Now, the question is how you fulfill your duty of being available for work. This depends on the specifics and really can only be answered by a lawyer or court (and IANAL). You do not need to endure hardships but have to accept reasonable inconveniences. Thus, you can leave if waiting becomes more than an inconvenience (usually that will be caused by weather or by bodily functions). If you leave, you should still be available for work unless that becomes unreasonable, e.g., because you could use that time to earn money by other means. 1 Usually, it can be safely assumed that you don't have that opportunity. However, a daytaler might easily have that opportunity.
It is not correct to say that &quot;Gutenberg is banned in Germany&quot;. A German court ruled that Project Gutenberg (US) could not provide copies of 18 works to addresses in Germany. PGLF (the foundation that runs Project Gutenberg) decided to block all access from Germany, because similar claims might be made about other works, leading to added legal expense in Germany. PGLF is said to be appealing the German Court's decision. Many works in the PG collection are clearly out of copyright in Germany, under German law. Providing those works would not infringe German copyright. As long as the PG license is complied with (and it is quite permissive) I see no legal problem with such works, but anyone planning to start a business or service reproducing such works would be wise to consult a lawyer with knowledge of copyright law in that person's country. Note that there are PG affiliates in several countries, including Germany and Australia, that operate under their own local copyright rules, and are run separately, and have different collections of works.
Firstly, your "apartment" doesn't prohibit anything; Your tenancy contract does. A terminology nitpick, but one that can shed some light on what is actually happening. TLDR: Your right to bear arms isn't being infringed, its being traded away. An unreasonable trade may be invalidated by the courts. Firearms restrictions are far less likely to be voided than speech content limitations. Yes, you have the right to bear arms(whatever exact meaning of that is). You also have the right to voluntarily agree to a binding agreement limiting that right, in exchange for a consideration. Compare a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). You have the right to freedom in your speech: you also have the right to agree to binding limits on your freedom of speech, in return for consideration (such as money or access to information). Every contract is structured in the same general way: Party A agrees to do or avoid doing certain things, in exchange for Party B agreeing to do or avoid doing certain things. So, in essence, what the apartment contract says is, that you agree to do or not do some things (including paying rent), in return for your landlord temporarily granting you some rights(such as the right to reside(generally exclusive), the right to control the space, etc. ), and imposing some obligations on themselves (which vary from place to place). In your case, one of the things that you are trading is a limitation on your right to bear arms(note that you can still bear arms, just not on the property in question). Now one thing to note is that courts have the power to enforce contracts; they also have the power to void contracts, in part or in full, if they are illegal or "unconscionable". In general, restricting (the content of) speech is not reasonable (e.g. having a general noise level restriction is reasonable), so is more likely to be struck down than one restricting firearms on the rented property.
You have the legal (contractual) obligation to pay the amount that you owe for your meal. The restaurant can refuse to accept a particular kind of payment, such as check, cash, credit cards (generally or brand-specific), various cash-transfer programs, foreign currency, bitcoin or ridiculous numbers of pennies. There is no requirement that they do today what they did yesterday. If you have in your possession only a Discover card, and if they are unwilling to accept service barter as payment (washing dishes is classical), then you would have a debt to the restaurant which you must pay in a reasonable time, using an acceptable medium (such as cash, unless they don't accept cash). They cannot make it impossible or highly burdensome for you to discharge your obligation (e.g. they cannot demand Krugerrands or Mongolian ᠲᠥᠭᠦᠷᠢᠭ as the alternative payment, unless you are in Mongolia). You were given advance notice of this possibility of non-acceptance, yet you willfully proffered a card that you knew that they were not likely to accept a second time. Your hands were not clean, and if this had gone to court, you could not expect mercy from the court on the grounds that you were surprised that they didn't accept your card.
