Name not on doorbell despite registration what can I do?
Hi German people,
I really need your advice on a situation I’m dealing with.
I recently moved into a new Wohnung about 2 months ago. I’m living in a house owned by an older German lady. The house has a kitchen, my room (around 17 m²), another room where her son lives, and one more room where she lives.
The issue is that my name is still not on the doorbell. When I asked her about it after moving in, she said she can’t put my name there because she is not allowed to officially rent the room to two people. She told me I have to wait until her son finds another place and moves out.
However, I am officially registered (Anmeldung) at this address, and I’ve even updated it on my residence permit.
It’s been 2 months now, and I never know if any letters or packages arrive for me. If I ask her again, she just says I have to wait until her son moves out, but I don’t even know when that will happen.
I’m starting to feel stuck and unsure what to do. Is this situation normal? Do I have any rights regarding having my name on the doorbell if I’m officially registered here? Any advice on how to handle this would really help.
