Prerequisite
You are the landlord of the new residence.
A landlord is someone who actually lets another person use a dwelling and not just in appearance.
This applies irrespective of whether this is based on a contract and whether this is effective.
The landlord is usually the owner who rents out the flat.
The landlord may also be a person or body commissioned by the owner to rent out the dwelling, for example property managers.
For persons who live as subtenants, the main tenant is the landlord.
The main tenant is also the housing provider if part of a flat is left to a third party for actual use without consideration or only against reimbursement of expenses.
If you move into the flat or house yourself as the owner, you make a self-declaration for yourself.
Responsible department
The registration authority of the new place of residence of the person moved in.
The registration authority is
- the municipality/city administration of the new place of residence or
- the administrative community or the municipality that performs the duties of the registration authority for this municipality of residence.
Procedure
You or a person appointed by you must confirm in writing to the registration office that the person subject to registration has moved in (landlord's confirmation).
In doing so, you confirm the following data:

- Date of moving in
- The address of the flat into which you are moving, and
- The names of the persons required to register.
In the case of an electronic confirmation to the registration office, you will receive a so-called assignment feature. You must inform the person subject to registration of the residence of this.
You can then enquire at the registration office whether the person subject to registration has registered.
