What are the rules for having guests in shared accommodation (WG) or rented rooms?
Having guests in shared accommodation (WG) is generally not illegal, but it's really important to talk to your flatmates or landlord beforehand. Since you share common areas like the bathroom and kitchen, your guests' presence can affect other residents. Always check your house rules and rental contract regarding this.
