Can I keep pets in student dorms or shared apartments in Germany?
Rules for keeping pets in student dorms and shared apartments in Germany vary quite a bit, depending on the institution and the landlord. While small pets (Kleintiere) generally can't be prohibited, you might need special permission for larger animals. To avoid any issues, always clarify this with your landlord or dorm management and get written approval before you sign your accommodation contract.
