For tenants in Germany

What is a Mietschulden­freiheits­bescheinigung?

It is a certificate from a landlord confirming information about a tenant’s rent payments and any outstanding rent. German law does not require tenants to provide one, but many landlords ask for it in practice when reviewing a rental application.
