Can I rent a WG before doing my Anmeldung in Germany?
Yes, to complete your Anmeldung (residence registration) in Germany, you first need to have a registered address. Because of this, renting a room in a WG (Wohngemeinschaft, a shared apartment) can be a good option before your Anmeldung. However, be prepared that WGs often involve personal meetings and interview processes before you can move in.
