(ANSWER) Anmeldung - What to do if the landlord is not providing Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung and you need your Steuer-ID
Hello,
I recently helped with the case, that the landlord is taking way too long to provide the legally mandatory "Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung" (landlord move-in confirmation). Meanwhile the person could not work. Because the employer only lets new employees work with a Steuer-ID (you only get through Anmeldung if you are new in Germany, an expat). So this situation is extremely bad, not being able to work can mean serious financial troubles.
So I called the official hotline 030 115 and they had a simple answer I wanted to share with everyone, who may have the same situation coming to Berlin:
-Bring your rental contract instead and they will understand
-You can send them the Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung after via email
(As a German I was actually surprised, that German paperwork can be easy and pragmatic for once)
I hope this helps (Especially expats who are new here).
