Working Together: How We Make It Run Smoothly

Whether you want to register a pet, need a certificate, or have a question about your lease—with the right form, many tasks can be handled quickly and easily. Here you’ll find all the necessary documents conveniently in one place.

Before moving in

As the new tenant, would you like to take over the previous tenant’s furniture, fixtures, or cosmetic repairs?

How to Shop Safely

Furnishings and fixtures: Arrange the handover directly with the previous tenant. We recommend using our handover form for this purpose and having both parties sign it.

Cosmetic repairs: If you wish to undertake work such as painting or wallpapering, it is best to put this in writing. This agreement applies solely to you and the previous tenant. As the landlord, we are not a party to this agreement and assume no liability.

Tip: It’s best to clarify all the details before handing over the apartment to avoid any misunderstandings.

Important documents

To register with the Residents' Registration Office, you will need a landlord's confirmation. We will be happy to provide this for you when you sign a lease.

The following applies to the issuance of a landlord's confirmation for an approved subtenant: The tenant issues the relevant confirmation.

Please send us an informal email with the subject line “Landlord Confirmation” to servicecenter@wgl-lev.de and include your name, address, and rental number in the email.

If necessary, we will need confirmation of your current tenancy—this serves as proof that there are no outstanding rent payments and that the tenancy is proceeding as it should.

Here's how we'll proceed together

Simply request the previous landlord's certificate from your current landlord. To do so, you can provide our form to your current landlord and then email it to us once it has been filled out.

We would be happy to send you the deposit confirmation upon request.
