Can you share a one-room apartment with a friend in Germany?
Whether you can share a one-room apartment with a friend depends entirely on your landlord's approval. Based on common experiences, landlords often aren't keen on multiple people sharing a single-room apartment. Without your landlord's consent, this could be illegal, and your friend wouldn't be able to get the necessary Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (landlord's confirmation of residence) to legally register their address (Anmeldung).
