Landlords in Berlin can now request specific registration details of their tenants, including name and any doctoral degree, provided they can demonstrate a legal interest. This clarification applies to tenant information within the German capital.

A notable restriction applies to tenants who registered before November 1, 2015. For these older registrations, owner information might not be stored, which could make it impossible for landlords to successfully request tenant details.

For individuals relocating to Berlin, this means that landlords may have access to certain personal registration data, such as name and academic titles, for legally justified reasons. This could be relevant for administrative processes or verifying residency.
