Registering can be important for many reasons. There might be hesitation on handing out landlord certifications for also many reasons.

Registering in Kanthaus

Volunteers and Members can request registration. This will be voted upon by Volunteers and Members. There is a list of who is registered. The person registering should make sure it's getting updated.

Unregistering

A person should unregister in case of becoming a visitor or moving out of Kanthaus permanently. It should happen in a reasonable timeframe and ideally get communicated.

About rental contracts

Rental contracts (written and unwritten) are only for VolMems who plan to live in Kanthaus for a longer period of time.

Random knowledge & legal context

We pay 50€ a year per person registered for trash service
Making rental contracts temporary is usually invalid. There are only some reasons which don't really apply to us.
When taking money in return for living in the house, there already is a rental contract. It's best to have a written contract, verbal lease agreements can be annoying in the long run.
Visitors/guests are legally allowed to stay somewhere unregistered for up to 6 months. So basically forever with breaks. This only applies when they are not paying rent.
Tenants are legally required to register within two weeks after moving in (or deregister after moving out).
Providing false information during registration or failing to deregister is a violation and may result in fines.
If we suspect misuse, we could request a registration record inquiry (Melderegisterauskunft) by demonstrating legitimate interest and request a persons deregistration.

Alternatives to registering at Kanthaus

If people need to register somewhere in the area for official reasons, there are two options in Leipzig where you can have mail delivered to. It's not a shame to go to these places. It can still feel that way though.

Leipziger Oase - recommended
Tagestreff Insel - possibly more focussed on people having substance addictions; quite far from Leipzig central

Probably there are also social workers who could help with applying for social benefits and other problems. Calling first recommended.
